Beginning to End Hunger: Food and the Environment in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and Beyond (Fletcher Jones Foundation)

Beginning to End Hunger presents the story of Belo Horizonte, home to 2.5 million people and the site of one of the worldâ€™s most successful food security programs. Since its Municipal Secretariat of Food and Nutritional Security was founded in 1993, Belo Horizonte has sharply reduced malnutrition, leading it to serve as an inspiration for Brazilâ€™s renowned Zero Hunger programs. The secretariatâ€™s work with local family farmers shows how food security, rural livelihoods, and healthy ecosystems can be supported together. In this convincing case study, M. Jahi Chappell establishes the importance of holistic approaches to food security, suggests how to design successful policies to end hunger, and lays out strategies for enacting policy change. With these tools, we can take the next steps toward achieving similar reductions in hunger and food insecurity elsewhere in the developed and developing worlds.
