About This Trend
The 'Mapa da Fome' refers to Brazil's exit from the United Nations' Hunger Map after four years, indicating a reduction in severe food insecurity.
According to the FAO/ONU report, Brazil's exit from the Hunger Map is due to a decline in the percentage of the population at risk of undernutrition, now below 2.5%.
