“…The food items purchased by the municipalities were mostly vegetables, vegetables and fruits. Similar results are reported in previous studies published elsewhere by a number of researchers including TOYOYOSHI et al (2013), GONÇALVES et al (2015), and AMORIM et al (2016. In this context, the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population focuses on the concept that the basis and foundation of nutrition should include food items from these groups.…”

In Brazil, at least 30% of the total financial resources provided by the federal government for school feeding should be used to buy products from family farming. The present study examines the profile of the purchase of these products in municipalities of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), south Brazil, in 2014. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out with information obtained through a questionnaire sent to the municipalities and filled by respondents. Of the 371 participating municipalities, 367 acquired products from family farming, and 86.8% of these municipalities achieved the minimum percentage required. Nutritionists and farmers were the main components involved in the articulation of this process. Difficulties faced by these individuals included the lack of organization of the producers, failure to meet the demand, and lack of interest. More than 80% of the municipalities bought food from the "Vegetables", "Cereals, Breads, Pasta, and Tubers" and "Fruits" groups. Only 8% purchased products from socio-biodiversity. There was a great diversity of food purchased, most of which were in natura, despite the low acquisition of socio-biodiversity products. Results of this study indicated the concern and tendency of the Brazilian municipalities to support the local economy with incentives to consumption and production of regional foods. RESUMO: No Brasil, no mínimo 30% do total dos recursos financeiros repassados pelo governo federal para a alimentação escolar devem ser utilizados na compra de produtos da agricultura familiar. Este estudo analisa o perfil da aquisição desses produtos em municípios do RioGrande do Sul (RS), em 2014. Foi realizado estudo transversal descritivo com informações obtidas de um questionário encaminhado aos municípios. Dos 371 municípios participantes, 367 adquiriram produtos da agricultura familiar, sendo que 86,8% deles atingiram o percentual mínimo exigido. Os nutricionistas e os agricultores foram os principais envolvidos na articulação do processo e, dentre as dificuldades enfrentadas estão a falta de organização dos produtores, a impossibilidade de cumprirem com a demanda e o desinteresse. Mais de 80% dos municípios compraram dos grupos "Hortaliças, legumes e verduras", "Cereais, pães, massas e tubérculos" e "Frutas", embora apenas 8% adquiriam produtos da sociobiodiversidade. Verificou-se uma grande diversidade de alimentos adquiridos, sendo a maior parte produtos in natura, apesar da baixa aquisição de produtos da sociobiodiversidade. Os resultados indicam a tendência dos municípios em fomentar a economia local, com incentivo ao consumo e produção de alimentos regionais.

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar o cardápio das escolas indígenas de Piaçaguera - SP, quanto ao respeito aos hábitos alimentares e à frequência de produtos ultraprocessados. Trata-se de um estudo de caso, realizado na Terra Indígena Piaçaguera, em Peruíbe - SP, onde foram visitadas quatro escolas. A Comissão Pró-índio de São Paulo disponibilizou materiais com informações sobre Piaçaguera e os hábitos alimentares locais, e seis cardápios mensais da alimentação escolar de 2016. Os cardápios foram analisados por refeição (desjejum e almoço) quanto à presença e a combinação de alimentos tradicionais do hábito indígena, e um dos cardápios foi analisado quanto à frequência de produtos ultraprocessados. Foi encontrada uma preparação tradicional para cada refeição, uma vez por semana, porém a combinação com outros alimentos não se adequava ao costume indígena. Os ultraprocessados foram encontrados diariamente no desjejum, alguns dias de forma exclusiva, e de 2 a 3 vezes por semana no almoço. Portanto, os cardápios escolares não condizem com os hábitos alimentares de Piaçaguera e os ultraprocessados estiveram frequentemente presentes, predominantemente no desjejum. É necessário que o planejamento do cardápio da alimentação escolar considere a variedade de alimentos tradicionais e valorize os saberes e o patrimônio alimentar indígena.

“…This may be due to the difficulties the municipal PNAE managers had purchasing these foods, especially insufficient quantity and variety in municipalities with low number of basic education students. Gonçalves et al [13] found that low family farmers' interest and poor hygiene were the main difficulties municipalities had purchasing family farm foods. According to Triches & Schneider [3], the barriers to farmer formalization were the bureaucracy of bidding (which still happens in some municipalities), compliance of locally processed foods with the legal quality standards, sanitary issues, and proving compliance with the formalities.…”

“…Although scarce, some studies have tried to analyze the relationships between family farm, organic foods, and school food in Brazil [3,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] and in some federative units [18][19][20]. In 2010 47.4% of Brazilian municipalities purchased foods from family farms for PNAE, especially in the Brazilian South, with 71.3% of its municipalities doing so [17].…”

Objective To describe the purchase of family farm and organic foods by the Brazilian School Food Program in the municipalities of the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Methods This is an analytic and descriptive study conducted from 2010 to 2011. An electronic survey was sent to all 293 Santa Catarina municipalities. The Chi-square test investigated the association between the study variables. Results Between 2010 and 2011, the number of municipalities that purchased family farm foods increased by 36%, with a total of 96% of Santa Catarina municipalities buying family farming foods in 2011. Of the 96%, 70% complied with Article 14 of Law nº 11,947/2009, which determines that at least 30% of the funds provided by the National Fund for the Development of Education should be spent on family farm products, and 48% purchased organic foods. The South was the state region that most complied with Article 14 (85%; p=0.02). However, as municipality size increased, compliance with Article 14 decreased (p=0.04). The municipalities that had the most difficulties buying family farm and organic foods were those with the lowest Municipal Human Development Index and number of students. Conclusion Most Santa Catarina municipalities purchased family farm foods in 2011, and most municipalities that complied with Article 14 of Law nº 11,947/2009 were in the South state region. Finally, municipalities with low Municipal Human Development Index and number of students had the most difficulties buying family farm foods.
