This research is about the controversial relation between undernourishment and learning, trying to identify what, if any, the cornrnon points in these two areas are. The objective of this study is to provide a theoretical and practical basis that allows a reflection and an analysis about the theme. We observed that .there are several different approachers to the relationship between undernourishment and learning and, for each dimension of the problem, we tried to offer the necessary thinking to the teaching-learning processo. This work also contains some data from a research done by i ts author wi th teachers and educational orientators from several schools of Municípío· do Rio de Janeiro. Although the research itself hasn't been the main-stream in study, its results can be useful for.the understanding the theme, as well as for other future works. this of According to the theoretical studies, conclude that there is no consensus about .the between undernourishment and learning since the don't exclude from their analyses the main points we can relation authors of other aprroaches. So, we can observe that this rich and polemical subject offers several dimensions about its that the educators have to work it out in the heir own reali ty. Even without pretensions of having aborded alI the theoretical references about the subject, this study álso aimed at.provoking a debate about it, to offer a help to the teachers as well as to supply neans for other researmes in this area. We must remark that the undernourishment problem is aIs o related to other sectors such as social, political, economics and cultural, so i t cannot be analysed in isolation and its study requires a detailed knowledge of the other areas as well. The two suppositions'that we arose at the begÍt'IDing of this study are still open, as, although undernourishment is not the only responsible for school failure, it is, probably, one of the factors that harm students' performance.
