Abastecimento alimentar pela agricultura familiar aos mercados institucionais em Mato Grosso do Sul

Abstract

The objective of this research was to verify the main conditions of food supply made possible by public policies, carried out by family farmers to institutional markets in Mato Grosso do Sul. The exploratory and descriptive research used data from bibliographical and documentary sources, associated with interviews that favored dialogue with public organizations, a solidarity economy organization and representatives of family farming, these were interpreted using a qualitative technique. It was possible to diagnose that, although the proportion of family farmers who benefit from public policies such as the Food Acquisition Program (PAA) and the National School Feeding Program (PNAE), is still not significant, the results have been encouraging in the construction of food systems associated with short chains. They affect both the socioeconomic and environmental dimensions and social inclusion, in addition to contributing to greater food security in the school environment and in other institutions and vulnerable populations. However, the main challenges have been the social construction of food systems with the support of public and social organizations, in an integrative process and shared construction of knowledge.
