Resumo: There is a contradiction between the perceptions held by different sectors of the Establishment with regard to the questions of hunger and nutrition in Brazil. On the one hand, the flagship of the present Brazilian government's social policy is the "Fome Zero" program. This program is based on the notion that the condition of hunger is socially relevant in this country. On the other hand, the scientific community in the field of nutrition has, through epidemiological studies, highlighted obesity as one of the most serious public health problems in Brazil. The reason why the public perception is dissociated from the production of knowledge on this subject has old roots that are related to the difficulties in institutionalizing science in Brazil. This has been reflected in a relative lack of legitimacy for scientific discourse. The new factor in this situation is the attainment of greater international visibility by the scientific community in nutritional de epidemiology. The future of the practical application of the results from nutritional epidemiology research in Brazil depends on the dynamics of the political agenda regarding hunger and nutrition, and of the sectors associated with this. The objective of this study was to explore this situation by means of analyzing scientometric data on the scientific production, historical data and documents relating to discourse about hunger.

Há uma contradição entre a percepção de diferentes setores da elite quanto às questões da fome e nutrição no Brasil. Por um lado, o carro-chefe da política social do atual governo brasileiro é o Programa Fome Zero. Esse programa se baseia na concepção de que a condição de fome é socialmente relevante no País. Por outro lado, a comunidade científica na área de nutrição, por meio de estudos epidemiológicos, destaca a obesidade como um dos problemas de saúde pública mais graves no Brasil. O motivo pelo qual a percepção pública está dissociada da produção de conhecimento sobre o assunto tem raízes antigas, relacionadas às dificuldades de institucionalizar a ciência no Brasil. Isso se refletiu numa relativa falta de legitimidade do discurso científico. A novidade nessa situação é a conquista de maior visibilidade internacional, pela comunidade científica em epidemiologia nutricional. O futuro da aplicação prática dos resultados da pesquisa em epidemiologia nutricional no Brasil depende da dinâmica das agendas políticas sobre fome e nutrição, e dos setores a elas associados. O objetivo do estudo foi explorar essa situação por meio da análise de dados cientométricos sobre a produção científica, dados históricos e documentais quanto ao discurso sobre a fome.
