“…Their clientele is mostly people living in poverty; but given their universal access, PR and CK also attract low-income students, retired seniors, people who live alone, low-wage workers, and a significant contingent of homeless individuals. They are located in areas where there are large concentrations of people in social vulnerability, facilitating thus their access to an affordable meal (Garajau & Afonso, 2016). Besides offering healthy meals, PR and CK often serve as spaces for other activities such as training and professional qualification of low-income individuals, aiming at social inclusion (RedeSAN, FAURGS, UFRGS & MDS, 2011;Brasil, 2005).…”

et al. 2022

Food insecurity is a critical global problem with social and public health consequences. In Brazil, access to adequate food is a fundamental human right guaranteed under the country's Constitution since 2010. As such, the State assumes the distinct and complementary obligations to respect, protect, promote and provide the Right to Adequate Food. The aim of this study is to present actions related to the "provision" dimension that have been developed as part of a network of public infrastructure strategies for food and nutrition security in Brazil. Through an exploratory, analytical literature review, the paper focuses on the operational designs and logistics of three main strategies: Food Banks, Community Kitchens, and Popular Restaurants. The Brazilian experience indicates that public actions are necessary, especially considering the urgency for those groups living with hunger and poverty. While similar programs can be found in other countries in South and North America, they are mostly offered by civil society organizations, and have not advanced toward public institutionalization. In fact, private programs are criticized for negating governments' obligation and responsibility in this area. Brazil's experience sheds light on public initiatives in meeting the State's obligations towards the Right to Adequate Food.

“…In 2003, there were around 111 CRs in Brazil, but there was an increase of 37% in the CR numbers by 2014 [ 6 , 14 ]. They contributed to this program’s increase in covered areas and improved health indicators guaranteeing food and nutritional security (FNS) [ 20 , 37 ]. From that period on, the federal government financed 46% of FNS programs in the country, and the State Government of Bahia built no new units [ 24 ].…”

et al. 2021

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of community restaurants (CRs), managed by the Government of the State of Bahia/Brazil, for the dimension of access to food. The study used secondary data obtained from the public opinion survey Profile of users of community restaurants in Salvador. The nutritional information was accessed through the analysis of CRs’ menus. Adequate effectiveness of access to food was considered when the CR served meals to 50% to 70% of the users considered the target audience (individuals served by the two CRs located in the city of Salvador/Bahia/Brazil). The participants (n = 1464; 778 as low-income individuals) were adult CR users from Salvador/Brazil. Most of the respondents were male, 40 to 54 years old, not white, had up to 9 years of formal education, without a partner, and living in the municipality of Salvador. The evaluated CRs are effective in serving 53.1% of the target population in their total service capacity. Meal provision only reached an estimated 0.7% of the socially vulnerable community in the district. The average energy value of the meal served by the CR units was 853.05 kcal/meal, with a mean energy density composition classified as average (1.15 kcal/g). The effectiveness of the evaluated community restaurants showed that these instruments were minimally effective in promoting access to food for the low-income population within their total daily service capacity, and the current quantity of these facilities was insufficient. However, these instruments stand out in the fundamental role of promoting the daily distribution of meals to the Brazilian population with the highest social vulnerability levels.
