Abstract

Food and Nutrition Security is founded on the right of everyone to a healthy, quality food that is accessible, in sufficient quantity and permanently. It is based on food practices that promote health, without compromising access to other basic and essential needs, respecting cultural characteristics of each region. However, there are many factors that affect food security and nutrition, including agricultural production, trade, food quality, water quality, sanitation services, local food culture, governance, political stability, etc. The objective of the present study was to describe and analyze the Food Acquisition Program and the National School Feeding Program as policies to strengthen Family Agriculture and the construction of Food and Nutrition Security in the municipality of Crato-Ceará in Brazil.The study was carried out between July 2017 and February 2018. A case study was carried out according to a qualitative and quantitative technique through a bibliographical and documentary survey and semistructured interviews. This research is a cut from the project approved by the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro , Commission for Ethics and Research (Resolution 466/12, Protocol No. 797/2016). The Food Acquisition Program began in 2014 in the municipality of Crato, counting with a number in the year 2017, the quantity of food supplied to the Food Acquisition Program by family farmers, such as bananas (4923) , Green corn (1998.00kg), sweet potatoes (1210.00kg), pumpkin (1187.30kg) and green odor (1157.40kg) In the years 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2016, the National School Feeding Program of the data provided by the National Development Fund for Education, the percentage of purchases of foodstuffs effectively met the requirements established by Law 11,947 of June 16, 2009, which determines that 30% of the total value of the onlendings should be used to purchase which were 31,45%, 31,11%, 34,35% and 30,41%, respectively. However, in 2011 and 2013, the municipality of Crato was unable to comply with Law 11,947, presenting values of 5.46% and 18.97%, respectively. The process of strengthening food procurement directly from Family Agriculture through the Food Acquisition Program and National School Feeding Program programs is complex in the Crato municipality, since its effective implementation requires a series of conditions that involve stimulation, monitoring, supervision and support for the implementation of policies to overcome the conditions of the sphere of action of political spheres entering the social and productive context intertwining in prerogatives that match with improvements in the quality of life of all those involved. Therefore, it is expected that this study will contribute to the reformulation and restructuring of government actions and public policies focused public policies focused on social protection, supplying the remaining deficiencies as well as filling the remaining gaps in this system.
