Belo Horizonte’s right-to-food model has been recognized as a pioneering approach to urban food security, significantly contributing to the reduction of hunger and the promotion of social equity. This study analyzes the linkages between the city’s food security policies and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), highlighting their impact on poverty reduction, public health, and economic sustainability. The research demonstrates that Belo Horizonte’s integrated food policies, including subsidized food programs, urban agriculture, and multi-stakeholder collaboration, have provided cost-effective and scalable solutions to urban food insecurity. Despite its success, challenges remain regarding policy sustainability, financial constraints, and political continuity. This study also identifies key limitations, including reliance on secondary data and the need for more field-based evaluations. Future research should explore comparative analyses between Belo Horizonte and other urban food security models, assessing their long-term economic and environmental impacts. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and researchers interested in developing sustainable and equitable food systems in cities worldwide.
