Abstract
The present study aims to identify the determinants of food insecurity in Brazil, urban and rural areas, based on information from the National Survey by Household Sample, in 2004, 2009 and 2013. It was observed for both Brazil and rural and urban areas, increasing household food security, although food insecurity is still a problem in the country. Households in which the reference person is female, non-whites, younger, with lower level of education, lower income, without electricity, piped water or sewage and residing in the Northeast or North, have a greater chance of food insecurity. In addition, food insecurity in Brazil is higher in rural areas, however, when controlling for household characteristics, the chances of food insecurity are higher in the urban areas, which can be explained by access to land.
