Module 2 Summary
We have reached the end of this module, which covered:
- Integration of sustainable purchases with environmental, social and economic aspects during all stages of the purchase process, seeking to identify ways of sustainable production that consider consumer responsibility, financing the generation of local income, social justice, and equality in rural areas.
- The minimum amount of 30% of financial resources from the PNAE to the direct purchase from smallholder farming for school feeding. (Law no. 11,947/2009).
- The exemption of a bidding procedure (civil service exam) to acquire foodstuffs from smallholder farming for school feeding, as long as there is consistency with current prices in local markets, as well as compliance with constitutional principles. (Law no. 11,947/2009, Article 14, paragraph 1).
- Developing actions to recognize actors. Building partnerships to bring the EEx and farmers closer by partnering with local institutions to which farmers are bound: secretariat of agriculture, technical assistance and rural extension entities (ATER), and other local smallholder farming representatives.
- This proximity to farmers favours:
- The step of mapping local smallholder farming goods.
- The elaboration of school menus by nutritionists based on smallholder farming production..
In the following module we´ll discuss smallholder farming purchases for the PNAE.
