Acquisition of family farm foods in municipalities of São Paulo state: The influence of the management of the School Feeding Program and municipal characteristics

Abstract

Objective To describe and analyze the implementation aspects of the purchase of food from family farms, according to the management of the School Feeding Program and characteristics of municipalities in the state of São Paulo. Methods A cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study, including 25 municipalities from São Paulo that purchased from family farms for school feeding, where 105 schools were drawn, in 2013, to verify: knowledge of the Law No.11,947/2009, disclosure of the purchasing process, guidance on the management of food, kitchen improvements, variety of food purchased and the use ≤30% of the Program’s resources with family farming. Absolute and relative frequencies were analyzed, and Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were performed (p<0.05). Results The knowledge of Law No.11,947/2009 predominated in centralized management (p=0.010) and the disclosure of the purchasing process in school/mixed management (p=0.010); all municipalities of school/mixed management used ?30% of resources (p=0.015). The disclosure of the purchasing process was more frequent in municipalities with fewer students (p=0.038) and lower Gross Domestic Product (p=0.020); guidance on food management was more frequent in smaller municipalities (p=0.011), with fewer public schools (p=0.040) and lower Gross Domestic Product (p=0.003); the variety of foods was more frequent in smaller municipalities (p=0.027), with fewer students (p=0.025), smaller area (p=0.025) and medium Human Development Index (p=0.001). Conclusion The management of the School Feeding Program and municipal factors can influence the implementation of the purchase of food from family farms.

Adequacy of school menus and national school food program requirements: a systematic review

“…Of the 12 selected studies, 4 evaluated the adequacy of menus [13][14][15][16] and eight evaluated the purchase of family farming products. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Of the selected studies, most were published between 2018 and 2019 (n=7). The studies used a sample of PNAE students and managers.…”

“…15 The acquisition of products from family farming was investigated in eight studies as described in Table 3. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] The investigation of the purchase of products from family farming was evaluated in different municipalities. Of the eight studies evaluated, five revealed that the investigated municipalities used at least 30% of the resources transferred by the FNDE to purchase products from family farming.…”

[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Dos estudos selecionados, a maioria foi publicada entre os anos de 2018 e 2019 (n=7). Os estudos utilizaram amostra de estudantes e operadores do PNAE.…”

Aquisição de alimentos da agricultura familiar para a alimentação escolar segundo regiões brasileiras: uma revisão

“…Trata-se de um aspecto importante a ser considerado na análise da aplicação dos recursos do PNAE e que pode ter forte influência na compra de alimentos da AF. Corroborando esta suposição, dentre os poucos estudos que fizeram menção à modalidade de gestão do PNAE, observou-se que, quando a gestão era centralizada, houve maior percentual de aplicação de recursos na aquisição dos alimentos da AF (Brito et al, 2018;Machado et al, 2018;Souza & Villar, 2019;Rockett, 2019).…”
