| Resumo: | The objective of the study is to analyze the role of the actors involved in the National School Feeding Program (PNAE) in enabling sustainable feeding. In this way, we sought to understand what concerns, actions and changes they have carried out or desired. This qualitative research analyzed 11 municipalities in Paraná based on the acquisition and non-acquisition of organic food from family farming. Semi-structured interviews were applied with family farmers, municipal managers, nutritionists, school directors and cooks, totaling 50 respondents. Among the most reported concerns are the application of chemical inputs in food, solid waste generated, consumption of local and less industrialized foods and food waste. Regarding the actions and changes towards a more sustainable diet, nutritionists from municipalities that purchase organic food showed greater understanding on the subject, while for secretaries of education and family agriculture there was no difference in the responses between the municipalities. This evidence points to the need for training and raising awareness among social actors so that school meals can be a vector of sustainability. |
