ABSTRACT:
Food and nutritional security is a central pillar of public health, particularly in contexts marked by persistent inequalities, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, policy setbacks, and transformations in the food environment. This study analyzed 32 scientific publications identified in the Virtual Health Library, selected after a structured search using the descriptors “collective health” and “food security,” filtered for full-text availability, MEDLINE and LILACS indexing, Portuguese and English languages, the 2020–2025 period, and exclusion of reviews and clinical guidelines. The findings indicate that food insecurity results from multiple determinants, including socioeconomic vulnerability, austerity policies, labor precarization, territorial disparities, and environmental changes. Studies highlight major impacts on vulnerable groups such as precarious delivery workers, families followed by the Family Health Strategy, quilombola communities, and residents of large urban centers. Evidence also reinforces that food security is intrinsically linked to health promotion, the human right to adequate food, and intersectoral public policies. Strengthening food security requires integrated approaches that consider territorial dynamics, social participation, stable public policies, and equity promotion, reaffirming its strategic role in collective health.
