Abstract

The problem of global hunger is a persistent and complex reality that affects millions of people around the world. According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in 2023, among the approximately 7.975 billion people in the world, 900 million were in severe food insecurity characterized by a state of hunger, with 83 million in Latin America and the Caribbean. A significant increase compared to previous years, mainly due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic (FAO, IFAD, WHO, WFP and UNICEF, 2023). According to the United Nations (UN, 2022), the forecast for 2050 is that the world population will reach 9.7 billion, requiring a 70% increase in food production, which will require more investments in agribusiness and family farming.
