Photo caption:More than 10 years ago, Brazil’s fourth-largest city, Belo Horizonte, declared that food was a right of citizenship and started working to make good food available to all. In Belo Horizonte, all school children eat for free. Belo Horizonte offers local family farmers choice spots of public space to sell their produce directly to urban consumers. Belo Horizonte has three Restaurante Popular or People’s Restaurants that serve 12,000 or more people each day for the equivalent of less than 50 cents a meal. The cost of these efforts is less than 2 percent of the Belo city budget—about a penny a day per resident.
