RESUMO:
This research is characterized as exploratory, of a qualitative nature and interdisciplinary approach, with the aim of discussing the potential use of Algaroba (Prosopis sp.) in human nutrition, from the perspective of the "Geography of Hunger", considering the specific aspects of the processing of the species in the context of the Brazilian semi-arid region. It starts with a bibliographical review of the introduction of algaroba to the semi-arid region, which took place throughout the 20th century and was initially used only as animal fodder on large rural properties. The research then sought to reflect on the relationship between public food policies in Brazil and the guarantee of food and nutritional sovereignty and security in the country, proposing that food products derived from algaroba could be viable for promoting food and nutritional security and combating hunger. The methodology consists of a case study, with a set of procedures and techniques to evaluate the perception of the residents of the São João da Várzea community (Mossoró-RN) in relation to the ways in which the species is used by the population, as well as attesting to the microbiological, physical-chemical and sensory quality of Prosopis sp. The results indicate that Algaroba provides new opportunities for food production in the semi-arid region, given that it has resources (pods) during periods of drought that require low-cost investments to carry out the cultivation and processing processes, stimulating sovereignty and food and nutritional security.
