Abstract
Este trabalho foi elaborado com o objetivo de investigar o impacto das variáveis socioeconômicas no comportamento de consumo de alimentos e na segurança alimentar e nutricional (SAN) nos territórios do Consórcio de Segurança Alimentar e Desenvolvimento Local (CONSAD) de Mato Grosso do Sul. Especificamente, pretende-se: i) identificar a relação entre as circunstâncias socioeconômicas e o comportamento de consumo de alimentos pertencentes à cesta básica; ii) levantar a relação entre as circunstâncias socioeconômicas e a segurança alimentar e nutricional; iii) levantar as relações existentes entre segurança alimentar e segurança nutricional; iv) identificar os possíveis efeitos do conhecimento nutricional sobre o comportamento de consumo de alimentos pertencentes à cesta básica. Para tanto, foi formulado um modelo teórico em que sete hipóteses foram testadas, com o uso de modelagem de equações estruturais. Os resultados fornecem base para o levantamento dos pontos fracos, fortes, ameaças e oportunidades dos territórios, direcionando as potencialidades e dificuldades no estabelecimento de políticas públicas de combate à insegurança alimentar e nutricional na região estudada.PALAVRAS-CHAVE Desenvolvimento local; políticas públicas; comportamento do consumidor de alimentos; política alimentar; Bolsa Família.ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of socioeconomic variables on food consumption patterns and on food and nutrition security in territories of the Consortium for Food Security and Local Development (CONSAD) in Mato Grosso do Sul/Brazil.
