Segurança alimentar e os mercados institucionais vinculados à agricultura familiar no Brasil

Abstract

Adequate and healthy food is one of society's greatest challenges. This monograph aims to explain the general dynamics of the National School Feeding Program (PNAE) and the Food Acquisition Program (PAA), with emphasis on family agriculture articulated through institutional markets to these programs, and in light of the principles of Food Security and Nutrition (SAN). The methodology adopted in this work combines elements of the exploratory and descriptive research involving in its procedures the bibliographical and documentary revision. The main conclusion of this research is that the dynamics of food acquisition programs through institutional markets combines elements of transversality and intersectoriality, promoting healthy food to those who are in a situation of food insecurity. In addition, it enables school feeding, which assists students in their performance, while encouraging the strengthening of the family agriculture sector and the preservation of the environment through sustainable production. The combination of different stimuli acts prospectively in the development of family agriculture, promoting broad synergistic effects and other social and environmental externalities.
