Avaliação da aquisição de gêneros alimentícios provenientes da agricultura familiar para a alimentação escolar

Abstract

The Efficient Manager of School Meals Prize organized by the non-governmental organization Ação Fome Zero, identifies and rewards municipalities with good municipal public administration of the National School Feeding Program (PNAE). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acquisition of food items from family farming by municipalities that registered and were selected to receive the prize. The study used data from the 8 th edition of the 2011 Prize regarding the report given by municipalities about the percentage of food purchased from family farming and the types of food items purchased. From the 1.082 municipalities registered, 22 were awarded. From these, 19 purchased from family farming, and 18 municipalities declared the percentage and mentioned the foods that are purchased. From these, eight municipalities achieved the goal of 30% of purchase from family farming. The food groups most commonly bought by 83% of municipalities were fruits / fruit pulps and vegetables; the sweets group was purchased by 67% of municipalities. Despite the group of cereals, tubers and roots occupies the 4 th position, only 2 municipalities reported buying rice. The most purchased food of this group were potatoes and cassava. According to the results, the municipalities awarded are purchasing products from family farming in accordance with the Law 11.947/2009 -National School Feeding Program; however, the variety of types of food purchased needs to be expanded in order to contribute to the formation of healthy eating habits of school children.

Acquisition of family farm foods for school meals: Analysis of public procurements within rural family farming published by the cities of São Paulo state

“…The same study by Toyoyoshi et al 9 , the only study in the literature that assessed the profile of foods acquired from family farms, found that the food groups most acquired by 83.0% of the 19 winning cities were fruits/pulps and vegetables, a result similar to that of the present study despite the use of different methods. One can infer that family farm products can encourage students to consume fruits and vegetables, a consumption that is still low as pointed out by Levy et al 20 , who analyzed data from the Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar (PeNSE, National Student Health Survey) to determine how often students consumed eight foods, food groups, or preparations, and found that 21.0% of the students did not consume fruits, and 26.8% did not consume vegetables at all.…”

“…Toyoyoshi et al 9 assessed cities that participated in 2011's Prêmio Gestor Eficiente (Efficient Manager Prize) conducted by the nongovernmental organization Ação Fome Zero (Zero Hunger Program) and found that 19 of the 22 winning cities acquired foods from family farms. Of these, three acquired regional products: pequi (Caryocar brasiliense) (Mato Grosso), taioba (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) (Minas Gerais), caruru (Amaranthus species) and jambo (Syzygium jambos) (Pará), and two other cities from the states of Paraíba (PB) and Ceará (CE) acquired organic foods, corroborating the results observed by the present study in which public procurements within rural family farming rarely request regional and organic foods.…”

“…Only one study in the literature assessed the profile of family farm foods present in school meals, possibly because of the difficulty of acquiring related data 9 . In this context, analyses of family farm food purchases or intention to purchase for school meals are important because of the need to strengthen family farms, stimulating the intake of regional foods, promoting social and biological diversity that respects local eating habits, and increasing students' intake of fresh foods, as established by PNAE guidelines 10 .…”

Family farming products on menus in school feeding: a partnership for promoting healthy eating

“…In a previous study nationwide was identified that eight of the 18 cities analyzed also acquired over 30% of the resource (TOYOYOSHI et al, 2013). Considering only the Brazilian southeast region, the purchase over 30% was reported by 42.4% of cities (SARAIVA et al, 2013).…”

“…Fruit, legume and vegetables (FLV) represented 77.2% of total food purchases by FF (Table 1). In a study developed by TOYOYOSHI et al (2013), the fruit or pulp of fruits and vegetables were purchased by 83% of the cities to be the most available food.…”
