Prato cheio, barriga vazia: reportagem multimídia sobre a relação entre o consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados e a insegurança alimentar em MS

Abstract

This experimental project, titled "Prato cheio, barriga vazia", presents a multimedia feature on the connection between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and food insecurity in Mato Grosso do Sul. It was developed as the final project for the Journalism program at the Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS). The story is divided into three chapters, each focusing on a specific theme. The first chapter, "Se não tem pão, que comam miojos", explains what ultra-processed foods are and their consequences for human health. The second chapter, "Quem vive, precisa comer", elucidates how ultra-processed foods directly and indirectly affect food insecurity. Lastly, the third chapter, "Comida do futuro (ou do passado?)", explores potential paths to reducing the consumption of ultra-processed foods through family farming and the challenges faced in Mato Grosso do Sul. The feature also includes a preface, titled "O biscoito", as well as an extra content, "Um docinho, por favor". It was developed based on extensive bibliographic and academic research, as well as interviews with expert sources and individuals connected to the described context. Through multimedia elements such as photos, videos, audio, infographics, and illustrations, the report highlights the impacts of ultra-processed foods on public health and dietary habits, as well as their influence on food insecurity rates, in an interactive and immersive way for the reader.
