Aquisição de alimentos da agricultura familiar, incluindo produtos orgânicos, pelas prefeituras municipais do estado do Rio de Janeiro, no âmbito do Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar, no período de 2011 à 2016

Abstract

The National School Feeding Program is considered strategic for the construction of Food and Nutritional Security (SAN) and has provided a reconnection between school feeding and family farming. However, the studies that report on the development of PNAE in the State of Rio de Janeiro are still small. This research aims to fill this gap. For this, in its first stage, composed of 2 descriptive exploratory chapters, were prospected, organized in database and analyzed official data regarding the performance of the acquisition of products of family agriculture by the 92 Municipal Prefectures of the State of Rio de Janeiro to the PNAE in order to provide data regarding the amount passed on by the National Fund for the Development of Education (FNDE); percentage of acquisition and volume of resources applied individually, by size (number of inhabitants) and by Government Regions. In the second stage of the research, of a qualitative and quantitative nature, the results of the research with the Technical Responsible Nutritionists (RTs) of the municipalities are presented in Chapter 3; to the Agencies of Advice to family farmers and to the Organizations of Marketing of organic products, made through online form. Chapter 4 presents results on the acquisition of organic products by Municipal City Halls based on data from the municipal managers available in the FNDE's System of Management of Accounts Management (SiGPC) from 2013 to 2016. Finally, in Chapter 5, 2 "Case Studies" about the process of organic / agroecological products acquisition are presented by the Prefectures of Pinheiral (Middle Paraíba Region) and Italva (Northwest Fluminense Region). The research as a whole evidences an Institutional Market for the commercialization of food from family farms, including organic products, little explored; as well as sufficient information for public managers, groups of organized family farmers, ATER entities and commercial entities (re) to formulate strategies capable of seizing the opportunity gained and valuing this important public policy.
