This paper discusses the food defense system and subsystems, highlighting
elements of logistics, human and animal health safety1, behavior and strategic
intelligence; this results from a retrospective and descriptive search of the
occurrence of food outbreaks and catastrophes in different contexts, with a
reduction of military capability and combat power. By discussing the perception
of risk with regard to the vulnerability of military food and water reserves and
the reflexes in the state of readiness of the deployed military force, this text
seeks to insert food defense in discussions related to national defense, which are
intrinsically related to the operability of a troop. Food defense is a cross-cutting
theme that intersects with different security and strategic sectors of interest to
Brazilian sovereignty. The contamination of water and food supplies can lead
to a shortage and collapse of their supply; in this way, it can be used to deter
and destabilize a military force, representing a threat to national defense. The
design of the present study was mostly qualitative, exploratory-descriptive and
analytical in character. The research technique used was a bibliographic review
and document analysis.
