Abstract

This paper discusses the National School Lunch Program (PNAE) in the municipality of Alegre, Espírito Santo State, Brazil, in order to characterize the process of buying food from family farmers to serve this market, focusing on the evolution of this process from 2013 to 2015. The sources of the data used were as follows: Calls for Submissions and the respective reports, available on the website of The City Council of Alegre; sales projects of rural associations provided by the Rural Workers’ Union; and FNDE (National Fund for Education Development) documents available on their website. It was found that the compulsory minimum purchase percentage was not met in 2013 (it was 15.52%), but it amounted to 116.68% of FNDE’s fund transfer in 2014. The number of farmers of Alegre participating of PNAE grew 2.8 times, from 2013 to 2015, reaching 39 farmers. There was a 54% increase in food diversity, from 22 in 2013 to 34 different foods purchased in 2015. It was concluded that the PNAE of Alegre, even in view of the challenges presented, is fulfilling its role to linking family agriculture with school lunch, helping to promote sustainable rural development while bringing food and nutrition security to children and adolescents who study in public schools.
