Abstract:

Food and nutrition are basic requirements for the promotion and protection of health. Nutritional surveillance and eating counselling are included in the scope of the national public health care system (SUS), as established in the Organic Health Law no. 8,080 of 1990. This paper presents and discusses the food and nutrition agenda in the context of SUS and its interface with food and nutrition security, its historical milestones, advances and challenges. This essay was guided by literature and documentary research and, above all, the rescue of the experiences and perceptions of the authors who, in different moments and contexts, were and are subjects of the food and nutrition agenda in Brazil. We reinforce the idea of SUS, with its achievements and imperfections, as a living system and derivedthe technical-ethical-political commitment of workers, academia and society as a whole. In this way, we seek to contribute to the debate about the Brazilian trajectory of building a public system for social protection that is committed to the human right to health and adequate food.
