THE PNAE AND THE PUBLIC POLICY FOR THE PROMOTION OF FAMILY FARMING IN MUNICIPALITIES IN ALAGOANOS:

AN ANALYSIS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE FEDERATIVE PACT

Abstract

The National School Feeding Program has intersectoral
guidelines that encourage the strengthening of family farming and
encourage local economies. For the present work, it was considered
mandatory to allocate at least 30% of the resources for the purchase
of food from family farming. The objective of the research is to
analyze this public policy, its guidelines in the fight against hunger
and its form of compliance, from the perspective of the federative
pact. A quantitative research was carried out based on a literature
and document review, based on data collected on the platform
of the National Fund for the Development of Education and
Agricultural Census of the year 2017. A representative sample of
twenty municipalities in Alagoas was selected, whose criterion was
the number, in percentage, of family farmers, that is, the ten largest
and the ten smallest. It was inferred that the program’s guideline
is no longer complied with by the vast majority of municipalities
in Alagoas, demonstrating possible State negligence in the duty/do
duty/providing of this policy, impacting on the realization of the
social right to food, of the fundamental objectives of the Federative
Republic of Brazil and the principles that should guide the economic
order.
