ABSTRACT:
The COVID-19 pandemic marked a turning point in the worsening of food inequalities in Brazilian higher education, especially among students in situations of social vulnerability. The abrupt closure of University Restaurants (RUs) deprived many young people of their main or only access to nutritious meals, while emergency remote learning exposed the lack of domestic infrastructure and reduced the conditions for academic retention. Loss of income, food insecurity, and an overload of responsibilities disproportionately impacted groups such as Black students, mothers, and residents of peripheral regions. The objective of this excerpt is to analyze, based on the findings of an integrative review, how the pandemic intensified the food inequalities experienced by university students in Brazil, highlighting its effects on retention and academic performance.
