Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA) em modalidades de execução pela CONAB e o fortalecimento da agricultura familiar, O

Abstract

In Brazil, family farming represents 84.4% of rural establishments, accounting for 74% of rural jobs and 33.2% of agricultural GDP. To recognize, add value and encourage family-scale agricultural activity, the country invests in public purchases of food from family farming to reduce food and nutritional insecurity across the country through the Food Acquisition Program (PAA). The general objective of this is to present the importance of the Food Acquisition Program in the strengthening of Family Agriculture. The importance of family farming in the country's agricultural production is indisputable, as it is the main supplier of basic products for human consumption, in addition to playing a decisive role in the production of food for the domestic market. The results obtained indicate that the Food Acquisition Program has provided family farmers with the possibility of entering the local market. The PAA also contributes to increasing the income of these farmers, encouraging them to incorporate a diversified model of food production. With this, the PAA fulfills its objective, which is to ensure a necessary variety of food both to supply the market and for self-consumption, positively impacting the situation of farmers and their families.
