RESUMO

The present work was based in a data set obtained in a larger research project named "(In)Segurança Alimentar em Grupos de Agricultores Familiares do Brasil" developed in the Faculdade de Ciências Médicas (FCM) and Faculdade de Engenharia Agrícola (FEAGRI) with Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP) registered as number 503527/2003-3, and made possible by the Edital CTAGRO/MCT/CNPq/MESA 01/2003. The data refers to three assentamentos rurais established at different times, through the action of the Landless Movement (MST) in Pontal do Paranapanema region, where social movements like that are very strong. The main objective was to measure the food security of the population living in the rural settlements, as much as its relation with self sustainable food production, here understood as production of fruits and vegetables in small areas and raising of small animals. For that the methodology called Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar (EBIA) was used. This method uses questionnaires with key questions that indicate whether there is food security or food insecurity (this last one divided in light, moderate and strong). From the 301 families interviewed, the following situation was envisaged: 41,1% in food security (SA); 40,7% in light food insecurity (IL), 14,1% in moderate food insecurity (IM) and 4,0% in strong food insecurity (IG). It was verified that the families that have self-sustainable production (animal and plant production) are in better food security conditions than those that did not had this production. It was concluded that to observe how the settled families relate the production designated to self consumption and yours relation with the insecurity food condition seems to be an indication to overcome the hunger condition that affect many families even in the rural area.
