Impacto do Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos na Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional dos agricultores

Abstract

Resumo Objetivou-se nesta revisão sistemática analisar o impacto do Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos na diversificação da produção, autoconsumo e segurança alimentar e nutricional dos agricultores familiares beneficiários fornecedores. Realizou-se consulta nas bases de dados eletrônicas Lilacs, SciELO e no portal de periódicos da Capes. As publicações foram pré-selecionadas pelos títulos, acompanhada da leitura dos resumos e na integra dos estudos, se excluiu aqueles que avaliavam a execução do Programa, que se referiam à segurança alimentar e nutricional dos beneficiários consumidores, artigos repetidos e de revisão. Dos 193 estudos revisados selecionou-se 7. Observou-se em todos os selecionados impactos positivos do Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos no aumento da renda familiar, favorecida pela garantia de acesso ao mercado e o escoamento da produção, viabilizando melhorias no sistema de produção e incentivando o cultivo diversificado tanto para comercialização quanto para autoconsumo da família, inferindo positivamente na situação de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional dos agricultores.

Equity, Health, and Sustainability with PROVE: The Evaluation of a Portuguese Program for a Short Distance Supply Chain of Fruits and Vegetables

“…Additionally, this kind of system produces sharp imbalances among the actors involved, privileging retailers over farmers and alienating consumers from food production processes [3]. Promoting short food supply chains has been proposed as a valuable strategy for counteracting some of these trends and promoting a fairer and more sustainable food production system [4][5][6]. This involves ensuring closer links between consumers and producers and decreasing the distances between the sites of food production and those of its consumption.…”

“…Contrary to some perceptions and policy discourses, locally produced food does not always represent the most environmentally friendly option and close empirical assessments are correspondingly necessary (e.g., [7,8]). Although there is increasing interest in short food supply chains in policy and research domains, most studies adopt a descriptive case study approach, with only a few studies evaluating the effects of the food supply chain on farmer and consumer perceptions, behaviors or the circumstances with experimental or quasi-experimental designs [4,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. More comparative studies are needed to estimate the effects of such initiatives, but there are many technical difficulties in assessing the effects of ongoing practices and robust evaluation studies are too costly in terms of time and resources.…”

“…Studies on short food supply chains report benefits for both farmers and consumers. From the perspective of farmers, these studies highlight the role of these supply chains in fostering economic benefits, for example by ensuring access to new markets, opportunities to cut costs, and optimize the farming business related transport and logistics [4,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. By securing the contexts of collective influence, programs promoting short food supply chains emerge as valuable strategies for enhancing the empowerment of farmers, increasing their capabilities for collective influence and decision-making in their farming activities (e.g., [11,13,22,23]).…”

“…Farmers economic empowerment was also reported in the assessment of national and regional policies that included the promotion of short food distribution chains. Assis and collaborators [4] presented a systematic review on studies concerning the impact of a Brazilian governmental policy, the PAA (Food Acquisition Program), implemented in 2003, as part of the national strategy to end hunger. The program promotes local small-scale farming and the governmental acquisition of food from local farmers to supply the need of social organizations.…”

Fatores associados à adesão e à descontinuidade ao programa “Cestas Verdes”, vertente do Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA) em Limeira, SP

“…Estudos anteriores foram unânimes em relação aos efeitos positivos do PAA aos produtores, que lhes apresentou novas perspectivas de trabalho, aumentou a renda familiar, assegurou diversidade alimentar para o mercado e para o autoconsumo, impactando de forma positiva na situação de SAN de seus domicílios [30,31] . Ademais, segundo Souza e Marín-León (2013), os idosos, que eram a maioria entre os beneficiários em IAN do programa "Cestas Verdes", apresentam maior risco de desenvolvimento de doenças crônicas, condições de saúde relatadas por grande parte dos beneficiários [32] .…”
