A Participação da agricultura camponesa no programa nacional de alimentação escolar (PNAE) nos municípios do Cone Sul de Mato Grosso do Sul

Abstract

he thesis deals with the participation of peasants from the Southern Cone municipalities of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul in the National School Feeding Program (PNAE) considering the municipal education network. The PNAE was created in 1955, initially called the School Meals Campaign (CME), as the Union provided financial resources to states and municipalities to invest in food purchases for school meals. In 2009, with the enactment of Law No. 11,947/2009, it was established that at least 30% of the resources transferred by the National Education Development Fund (FNDE) for the execution of the PNAE should be used directly in the purchase of foodstuffs. of “family agriculture and rural family entrepreneurs or their organizations”. The participation of peasant agriculture in the supply of foodstuffs for school meals in the Southern Cone municipalities has shown some similarities and dissimilarities regarding aspects such as: public call; publicity of calls, participation of Formal and Informal Groups; frequency of deliveries, delivery locations, among others. The study found that the sale of food in the PNAE, in some municipalities, has been almost exclusive to certain Formal Groups and Informal Groups. Although the PNAE has provided security for the commercialization of food from peasant agriculture, there needs to be adjustments and improvement in the relationship between Executing Entities and Peasants (Formal Groups or Informal Groups), so that it is better operationalized and thus reflected in indexes purchase of food for school lunches. The research took a qualitative and quantitative approach and the analyzes were based on primary and secondary data. The primary data are the result of fieldwork carried out in 2018 and 2019 in the Southern Cone municipalities, based on the application of questionnaires, interviews and informal dialogues. Secondary data, on the other hand, come from documentary research and access to databases from public institutions, such as the Ministry of Education (MEC/FNDE), Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA), National Supply Company (CONAB), Agrarian Development and Rural Extension Agency (AGRAER) and Civil House.
