Abstract

The present work aims to present the form of application of the National School Feeding Program - PNAE, in the municipality of Ipirá/BA, showing how the participation of family farming in this program takes place. For this work, the context in which the importance of applying and/or implementing public policies arose, the origin of the school feeding program in Brazil and a brief history of the abandonment of family farming by the State. Field research was carried out in the municipality, of an exploratory nature, with the actors involved in the application of the program. This research sought to contribute to the improvement of the application of the PNAE and to verify how the participation of family farming is taking place. Public policies for this type of agriculture must provide development in the countryside for those who live in the countryside.
