The article studies food security in Brazil (2004-2022) and how the inefficiency in implementing public policies contributes to the advance of hunger, making a comparison between the number of people who live with hunger and the activities aimed at extinguishing this phenomenon. It is established as a hypothesis that the evolution of public policies is simultaneous to the growth of food insecurity in the Brazilian population. To prove this study, we use the methodology of analyzing the genesis of the policy, how it is proposed to be implemented, the intended results, and the social impact. As results, it is shown that the levels of food security have remained in decline (2004-2013) and the quantity of the food insecure population has increased between 2013 and 2017-2018, in addition to the increase in food insecurity between 2017-2018 and 2022.
