Food Security, Feminism, Sustainable Development GoalsAbstract
This article aims to answer the question: how can the feminist perspective help to understand Food Security? Statistical data from the Food and Agriculture Organization on two Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 2 and SDG 5 was analyzed to answer this question. The article also promotes a discussion based on literature analysis that links both SDG. Two main issues were observed: (1) that Food Security can be analyzed under a holistic view, involving all levels; (2) objects assume a different interpretation analyzed through a feminist perspective.
