Trajectory of child food and nutrition policies
This interview seeks to record the challenges faced these past decades to consolidate public policies for food and nutrition in Brazil by editing a videoconference with written answers sent by Professor Malaquias to previously sent questions.
Abstract
This interview composes the Supplement on the Brazilian National Survey on Child Nutrition: Evidence for Food and Nutriton Policies, but it is above all a tribute to Professor Malaquias Batista Filho, a reference in the fight against the ravages of hunger and child malnutrition in Brazil. His 87-year trajectory represents a milestone in public policies for food and nutrition in Brazil, not only for his resolve and principles, but also for the tenderness he has imprinted on this path. This interview seeks to record, based on his experience, the challenges faced these past decades to consolidate such policies by editing a videoconference with written answers sent by Professor Malaquias to previously sent questions.
