“…Nowadays, however, this has changed as the agricultural activities in Quilombolas communities have become increasingly difficult to maintain due to lack of credit, lack of tools, high production costs and low selling prices of crops. Furthermore, ecosystem degradation and climate change have diminished the availability of foods from fishing and hunting and have hindered the fertility of the soil ( 9 , 10 ) . These major agriculture-related shifts have been accompanied by increased proximity to roads leading to urban areas and structural economic changes, including access to social programmes and wage labour, both of which have been associated with increased consumption of processed foods ( 19 ) .…”

“…These communities are distributed all over the country and have a relative degree of geographical isolation, a situation associated with difficulties in accessing basic goods and services ( 7 – 9 ) . In addition to poverty, Quilombolas experience other social exclusion risk factors including lack of Brazilian State official recognition of their lands, lack of political power and loss of their historically constructed cultural identity ( 9 , 10 ) . Quilombolas are legally eligible for social programmes (e.g.…”

Objective: To identify the factors associated with food insecurity among Quilombolas communities in Brazil. Design: An analysis of secondary data assessed in the 2011 Quilombolas Census was performed. The Brazilian Food Insecurity Measurement Scale (Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar, EBIA) was used to assess household food security status. Sociodemographic conditions and access to social programmes and benefits were also evaluated. Setting: National survey census from recognized Quilombolas Brazilian territories. Subjects: Quilombolas households (n 8846). Results: About half (47·8 %) of the Quilombolas lived in severely food-insecure households, with the North and Northeast regions facing the most critical situation. Households located in North Brazil, whose head of the family had less than 4 years of education, with a monthly per capita income below $US 44, without adequate sanitation and without adequate water supply had the greatest chance of experiencing moderate or severe food insecurity. Households that had access to a water supply programme for dry regions (Programa Cisternas) and an agricultural harvest subsidy programme (Programa Garantia Safra) had less chance of experiencing moderate and severe food insecurity. Households that did not have access to health care (Programa Saúde da Família) had greater chance of suffering from moderate or severe food insecurity. Conclusions: Interventions are urgently needed to strengthen and promote public policies aimed to improve living conditions and food security in Quilombolas communities. Keywords Food security Household food insecurity Quilombolas Social vulnerability Epidemiological surveysFood and nutrition security is the guaranteed right for all to have access to safe, healthy and nutritious foods in adequate amounts, respecting cultural and social preferences (1,2) . The violation of this leads to household food insecurity (HFI), which can range from mild (concerns with food shortage and poor quality of foods due lack of money) to severe (occurrence of hunger) (3) . In Brazil, HFI is measured by national surveys using the Brazilian Food Insecurity Measurement Scale (Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar, EBIA) (3) . Since 2004 Brazil has generated data on household food security from three National Household Representative Surveys (4) . Analyses of these data have identified black or brown skin colour, low income and education, and poor health as risk factors for HFI (3,4) .In 2004 the prevalence of food insecurity among black and brown individuals was 43·4 % compared with 24·6 % among whites. Between 2004 and 2013 this prevalence decreased but still remained higher among black and brown individuals than whites (33·4 v. 17·2 %, respectively). In 2013 over half (50·7 %) of the Brazilian population self-identified as having black or brown skin (5) , a characteristic associated with illiteracy and low income. Specifically, illiteracy was 11·8 % among black and brown individuals and 5·3 % among whites; furthermore, 14·1 % of the black and ...

“…Essa inadequação é preocupante, uma vez que pode comprometer o estado nutricional dos escolares, levando a estados carenciais, os quais, por sua vez, podem aumentar a suscetibilidade das crianças a diarreias e infecções, além der comprometer a maturação do sistema nervoso, visual, mental e intelectual. O alcance do percentual proposto pelo Programa é uma ação importante para contribuir com a adequação nutricional das crianças brasileiras frequentadoras da rede pública de ensino 27 .…”

The National School Food Program (PNAE) constitutes an important strategy for the promotion of healthy eating. The objective was to perform a brief analysis of evaluative research on the PNAE. It involved a search of the literature from 2010 to 2015 in the Bireme and Scielo databases. Twelve articles were selected linked to the area, eight of which analyzed the insertion of the nutritionist in the PNAE; seven, to buy food from family farms; five, the implementation of School Food Councils; five, the compilation of menus; and four, funding destined for the PNAE. Problems in the performance of the nutritionist and the School Food Councils, on buying food from family farms and in the compilation of the menus (low fruit and vegetable content) were detected. The need for greater attention to execution of the PNAE was highlighted in order to ensure school food within guidelines that promote food and nutrition security. Further evaluation studies about the program are fundamental for the provision of subsidies to public managers for purposes of enhancing its implementation.

“…Em comunidades quilombolas, a falta de regularização das terras é um obstáculo adicional à sustentação econômica e cultural. A aquisição de produtos da AF de origem quilombola pode diminuir o êxodo rural nessas comunidades, ao gerar emprego e renda e fortalecer a identidade cultural, além de promover a SAN entre escolares e seus familiares [30] . O fornecimento de gêneros para o PAA e o PNAE foi importante para agricultores de assentamentos rurais do estado de Mato Grosso, tanto como incentivo à transição agroecológica como na melhoria das condições de vida [27] .…”

O artigo discute a aquisição de alimentos regionais para o Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE) no contexto da promoção da segurança alimentar e nutricional (SAN). Explora-se o desenho institucional do programa e seus potenciais para fomentar o desenvolvimento local e sustentável, por meio da compra de gêneros alimentícios da agricultura familiar pelo setor público. Os termos alimentos regionais, preparações regionais e hábitos alimentares regionais possuem conceituação ambivalente na literatura científica e institucional, o que possibilita uma oferta de alimentos não saudáveis nos cardápios escolares. Destacou-se o processo de aquisição institucional de gêneros alimentícios dos agricultores familiares e os gargalos existentes, notadamente a falta de documentação por parte dos agricultores familiares, estrutura física e logística e normas sanitárias inadequadas à realidade da agroindústria familiar. A oferta de produtos da agricultura familiar deve ser pautada na produção de alimentos regionais e saudáveis, cujo mercado em vias de consolidação requer delineamento adequado por parte das entidades executoras do PNAE por meio de incentivos à regularização fundiária, acesso a assistência técnica agrícola, produção de base agroecológica e promoção da sociobiodiversidade. A análise da relação entre a promoção da sustentabilidade e a produção/aquisição de alimentos regionais demanda maior número de pesquisas.
