In the early nineties Brazil presented and included the Fight Hunger principle in its political agenda. The principle was to be adopted by both civil society and the State. Never before in its history had Brazil witnessed such social mobilization which shook policies directed at fighting the most perverse form of misery: Hunger. In our research we attempt to identify the principles of intervention of different social actors between 1993 and 2003 related to the objective. Consequently we chose the Ação da Cidadania (Citizenship Action) campaign, a social initiative, and the Projeto Fome Zero (Project Zero Hunger) which was a political priority of the Luís Inácio Lula da Silva government, as key references in the studied period. Employing both these initiatives with empirical data for the research enabled us to understand the processes social, political and discursive which ultimately characterized the Fight Hunger decade.
