RESUMO:

The research is part of the debate on Food and Nutritional Security, which in Brazil, instituted by Law No. 11,346, 

of September 15, 2006, consists in realizing the right of everyone to regular and permanent access to quality food 

in sufficient quantity, without compromising access to other essential needs, based on health-promoting food 

practices that respect cultural diversity and that are socially, economically and environmentally sustainable. So, this

the general objective of this study was to analyze the situation of food and nutritional security regarding food 

consumption and the nutritional status of family farmers in the Association of Small Farmers, Extractivists and 

Artisanal Fishermen of the municipality of Alenquer (ASPROEXPA) and as specific objectives: a) to investigate the 

food consumption of female farmers and their families; b) perform a diagnosis of the condition nutritional status of 

farmers and identify the occurrence of diabetes and high blood pressure and c) identify food production in the 

family unit and access to public food and nutrition security programs. The field research followed the ethical 

precepts according to CEP No. 3.972.589, as well as the protocols of biosafety established by the World Health 

Organization (WHO), of prevention community transmission of the new coronavirus. In this sense, a stage of 

interviews were conducted by telephone and another face-to-face stage, using Data collection instruments for the 

investigation of food consumption: The 24-hour food recall questionnaire, the food consumption and the Brazilian 

Food Insecurity Scale (EBIA) and for the evaluation of the nutritional status of the farmers, the collection of 

measures anthropometric measurements: weight, height and waist circumference (abdominal). It was also used, a 

questionnaire to record self-reported health information (diabetes and hypertension), socioeconomic and food 

production of the family unit. Fourteen women associated with ASPROEXPA participated in the survey, of which 

73% presented inadequate nutritional status with diagnosis of overweight and obesity, according to the body 

mass index (BMI) with substantially high risks metabolic complications associated with obesity (circumference). 

Taking into Considering EBIA, about 72% of families are food security, that is, when there is no food restriction of 

any kind, not even the concern with the lack of food in the future, on the other hand, in the analysis of food 

consumption current both by the 24-hour recall and by the consumption markers inadequate diet with high food 

consumption ultra-processed products that contribute to the onset of diseases such as diabetes, arterial 

hypertension and obesity, as well as, the inadequate nutritional status, reflected in evaluating the anthropometric 

measurements of the participants. Understanding the data health and nutrition conditions, food consumption and 

access to programs public institutions makes it possible for Municipal Management, Universities and other 

institutions promoting food and nutritional security for research participants and the entire rural environment, 

in its broader concept of guaranteeing rights, with access, production, marketing and consumption of food and 

its relationship with health and quality of life.
