Is food political? | Real Food

João Lucas França – Radio host and communicator for the Sabiá Center.

Today’s real food continues our discussions on food month – October. This week, our question is simple, but loaded with importance, in a country that has faced governments that have brought Brazil back to the map of hunger, food insecurity and misery for so many.

In a country where almost half the population faces food insecurity on a daily basis, and also thinking about the many discussions about food, access to nutritious and quality food, we ask: is food political?

To talk to us about these issues, Paulo Mansan , the state leader of the Landless Rural Workers’ Movement (MST), joins us today ! Paulo is an activist for agrarian reform and rural rights, and is part of the coordination of the Mãos Solidárias campaign.
