| Summary: | To characterize the scenario of the acquisition of food from family farming for PNAE in the municipalities of the state of Rio Grande do Norte. This is an evaluative research with an ecological design, with information analyzed according to data from the Collaborating Center for School Food and Nutrition linked to UFRN in the years 2017 and 2018. 31 municipalities were evaluated, analyzing the percentage of food purchased from agriculture for school feeding, in addition to the possible difficulties in face of this process, using variables related to governance and management, stability and availability of food. Of the municipalities evaluated, more than 50% purchased food from family farming in the previous year and affirmed the purchase in the current year. All municipalities reported using the centralized management model, 29% declared acquisition below 30%, 9.7% acquisition above 30% and 61.3% did not know how to inform. Regarding the main difficulties related to governance and management, the intersectoral articulation and the public call notice gained prominence. Regarding food stability, the necessary hygienic-sanitary conditions were highlighted, and in relation to food availability, the acquisition of organic and / or agroecological foods proved to be a major difficulty, listed by 80.6% of the municipalities. |
