O Programa de Alimentação Escolar em Maceió e as dificuldades para compra da Agricultura Familiar

Abstract

This study presents a brief history of the School Meals Programme (PNAE) in Brazil, demonstrating its evolution, from an incipient beginning to its greatest advance, which came with the publication of Law No. 11947/2009, which universalised the Programme for all basic education. To develop the work, we used different bibliographic sources and official documents, aiming to demonstrate the implementation of PNAE in the municipality of Maceió and the challenges to its consolidation. We emphasize that family farming is an indispensable factor to ensure the consumption of healthy foods, and therefore it is necessary to overcome the difficulties identified in the process of acquisition of the percentage provided for by the legislation. Therefore, it is up to the State to promote conditions for the realization of Food and Nutritional Security of students in the school context addressed.
