Hunger is the consequence of the lack of food, which strikes a large number of people both in Brazil and the World. Despite of Brazil's advancements on the economical, social and technological fields, hunger still strikes millions of Brazilians. This happens because of the unbalanced income distribution in the country, which causes 32 million Brazilians to suffer from hunger, and 65 million more don't ingest the minimum quantity of callories needed.
This is an extremely high number, if you consider that the Brazilian territory has a large agricultural potential. But this is irrelevant, since there is an elevated income concentration in the country. A large percentage of the money is in the hands of only 10% of the population.
Even with federal and state social programs, the problem of hunger is still far from being solved. What makes it even harder to be solved is that it is present in small, medium and large cities and also in rural areas, independent of the state or region.
