Desafios do combate a fome: um estudo crítico da atuação da FAO

Abstract

This article presents as object of study the Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations, and as objective it will analyze critically the measures proposed by FAO to combat the food insecurity. The basis of this search purposes a normative thought using qualitative research instruments as well as the holding of a bibliographic study. This search is based on FAO official sources; specifically the report developed by the organization in 2008 “The state of insecurity food in the world”. It also based on theoretical framework of Global Governance, which has supported by references as Sthepen Gill and another authors in this line of research as Saskia Sassen and Janine Brodie. Using the recent literature on the international organizations, it concludes that FAO contribute with an immediate help to the communities which suffer with the food insecurity. Considering what has been exposed, this article argues that FAO may play its role not only in arbitrary manner, even so dealing with structural points that in fact give food sovereignty global. As well as other international organizations, the FAO objective is not to break with the current world order, but ease the contradictions of the inequality world system.
