Abstract

Brazil presents a diversity of productive forms in family agriculture, whether by technology or production factors. Family farming has a great distinction in relation to the situation of producers, due to the use of family labor and activities related to horticulture and fruit growing in small areas, where it presents productive practices with a large percentage of production. The present work aims to highlight the demand for food needed for school purchases from family farming. With the concept of supplementing the nutrition distributed in the family-based institution through the National School Feeding Program (PNAE). We have as a reference the Ouro Branco Rural Municipal School, located in the municipality of Nova Canaã do Norte - MT. In order to evaluate the dynamics of food programs, based on data from the agronomic calendar and area needed for food production. Evidencing the prices of products from the conventional market compared to family farming, to the point of presenting the PLAN PNAE program, which analyzes the resources with the highest value in terms of benefit and nutritional balance. Through this research we concluded that the average area required for each crop was determined at 3600 square meters.
