Alternativa sustentável para mitigar o desperdício de alimentos no paraguai. Periodo 2017-2019

Food is a permanent reason for discussion between the different sciences, considering that it not only affects people's health, but also has an impact on the environment, thus making food overproduction and food insecurity two sides of the same coin. The objective of this work was, on the one hand, to describe the effect of food overproduction at a global and local level and to identify companies or organizations that contribute to reducing hunger in Asunción. For this purpose, the bibliographic-documentary modality was used and semi-structured interviews were carried out. The main results indicate that greenhouse gas emissions derived from food production and the subsequent disposal of unconsumed food contributed significantly to global warming and climate change. Regarding the situation of food insecurity, in Asunción there is a single company dedicated to the rescue and redistribution of food for people in vulnerable situations. In conclusion, it can be indicated that the incidence of Mboja'o in the vulnerable population of Asunción has been increasing since its foundation, which shows that food recycling is a sustainable alternative to reducing hunger.
