RESUMO

The purpose of this study is to investigate the implementation of Dietary and Nutritional Safety (DNS) and Human Right to Food (HRF) concepts in Brazil and their relationship with Sustainable Development, environmental assessment education and Multimixture. The concept of Dietary and Nutritional Safety may be interpreted with many different meanings depending on its historicity. In this work, the DNS concept relates to the achievement of all the conditions for a dignified life at the same time, assuring adequate satisfaction of the Human Right to Food. Therefore, its meaning goes beyond the scale of poverty. The Human Right to Food, like all the human rights, is universal, indivisible and inalienable. It is an important part in the social dimension of a countrys Sustainable Development since the culture of a community is present in its food and in all the processes involved in food production. Regarding Gramscian anti-hegemony contents, this study also covers the Multimixture, a low cost and highly nutritional food supplement that is commonly used in Brazil to fight malnutrition, disregarding the official Public Health advice. The implementation of an environmental assessment education may promote Dietary and Nutritional Safety in a large scale: by integrating environmental education with the Human Right to Food it is possible to provide a highly participative community experience, as exemplified by the Bacia do Alto São Bartolomeu DF case study.
