O programa nacional de alimentação escolar e seus impactos para os agricultores assentados

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how we are giving, namely the accession of agrarian reform settlers the National School Feeding Programme (PNAE). Within this analysis we considered a set of objectives, which are: capture the difficulties encountered by the settlers who joined the program, registering the potential for acceding settlers, highlight the possible impacts on food production and income of the settlers know social relationships established between members settlers and the relationship between them and the other organizations that have been involved with the program. To meet these objectives, we used a qualitative and quantitative approach to research, a dialectical-critical conceptual perspective, considering the historicity, and all the contradiction. Although research present mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative) there is a predominance of qualitative data. The technique used to analyze the collected data was content analysis. The sample universe was restricted to the settlements in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre (RS) due to various factors, such as institutional terms, development of settlements, among others. The results showed that there is an increase in the production of settlements due to the PNAE, just as there is a positive impact on the income of settlers and these results are helping to set the settlers in their respective settlements. It was realized that there are numerous barriers that hinder the development of the program in the settlements and they range from misinformation about the PNAE, disability structure and logistics, discontinuity of municipal administrations, seated prejudice against the lack of dialogue between the parties involved with the program, among others. It is noteworthy that we saw the occurrence, between the settlers, an alienation process in relation to the work process (the opposite of alienation in the Marxian sense). It follows, therefore, that the PNAE has positive impacts on the lives of the settlers and the membership thereof, the program can not be considered negligible in the locations studied. In addition, it was found that there is potential for increased adherence of the settlers to sharpening program the positive impacts cited.
