Do campo ao ensino: uma relação entre a agricultura familiar e a aquisição de alimentos pelas escolas públicas de Paudalho - PE

Abstract

The discussion of how the countryside permeates the city so that there exists a sustainable relationship between these two realities is a too approached topic, in such a way that the recognition that it is necessary to strengthen this relationship is even present in laws. The goal of this work is twofold. First, it is to analyze, throughout secondary data and interviews, the Federal Law L11947 applied to the district of Paudalho, where one of the prerequisites for the city to receive the requested resource is that its schools use at least 30% of such funding in family-farming-food-made. The second objective is to discuss the importance of this law for the relationship between the countryside and the municipality, understanding whether it can promote the circular economy and healthy eating in schools in the municipality. Secondary data analysis is based on reading research articles, collecting IBGE socioeconomic numbers, and information collected through interviews with staff of the Paudalho Education Department. From this analysis and discussion, it is concluded that the Federal Law L11947 is a remarkable incentive for the circular economy of the region, but there still exist many difficulties to overcome, such as, for instance, the low value of available federal resources capable of covering students meals without district's resources.
