O PNAE e a Agricultura Familiar

Slide 7 of 9

The next step after the separation of projects will be their analysis, a moment when the EEx must first analyse only the projects of Group 1 (local projects), observing the next selection criteria.

1º

After separating projects into groups (local, rural, state or national), the next criterion of selection is to verify whether, among local selling projects, there are any selling projects from land reform settlements, traditional indigenous or Quilombola communities, with no priority between them.

As you have seen since the beginning of this course, the PNAE aims at the promotion of local sustainable development and social inclusion of rural production, thus prioritizing the selection of projects from these communities and settlements.

2º

The next selection criterion to be applied to local selling projects is to verify whether there are any selling projects of foodstuff suppliers certified as organic or agroecological, according to Law no. 10,831, of December 23rd, 2003.

In previous units, you have also become aware of organic and agroecological foods in the scope of the PNAE. These foods are directly related to safe and healthy eating, to sustainable regional development, and to the care of the environment and work relations. For these reasons they are prioritized by the Programme as the second criterion for selecting selling projects from smallholder farming to the purchase for school feeding. In this case, certification conditions and organic and agroecological guarantees will be observed.

3º

Finally, if there aren`t any projects from settlements, Quilombolas, indigenous communities, or organic producers in the selection, or if it is still necessary to select projects that are tied in the previous criteria, the following selection must be applied: Formal Groups (productive organizations that hold a DAP Legal Entity) have priority over Informal Groups (smallholder farmers organized in groups that hold a Declaration of Aptitude to Pronaf DAP Individual), who have priority over Individual Suppliers.

Smallholder farmers can participate in the selection as individual suppliers or organized in informal or formal groups (associations and cooperatives with DAP Legal Entity). However, formal groups have priority over the others, and informal groups have priority over individual suppliers.

Attention!
The access and construction of differentiated markets of commercialization of smallholder farming goods can be potentialized when farmers are organized. Through associations and cooperatives, farmers have better work opportunities and strengthen the community based on solidarity, organizing production and facilitating the access to consumer markets, with social inclusion and local development. Because of this, the PNAE encourages organization, prioritizing smallholder farmers who belong to associations and cooperatives. (Smallholder farming acquisition manual. 2nd edition. 2015).

Participation of smallholder farming in school feeding.

School feeding manager in Cidade de Goiás comments on the benefits and reasons that took smallholder farmers to prefer adhering to local cooperatives rather than selling individually.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

If there is a tie in the Formal Groups criteria, which is the 3rd criteria for the selection of projects, do you know how will it be solved?

According to PNAE regulations, in case there is a tie in Formal Groups, the organizations with the highest percentage of smallholder farmers will be selected, according to a statement of DAP Legal Entity, which contains a composition of their partners.

See the video of the Cycle of Smallholder Farming Purchase for the PNAE on Module 3 Unit 2 Slide 9

Attention!
Land reform settlements, Quilombolas and/or indigenous communities will be considered formal and informal groups when they are composed of, at least, 50% plus 1 of associates from producer organizations, in the case of formal groups, and 50% plus 1 of smallholder farmer suppliers, in the case of informal groups, as identified by DAPs.

In case there is a tie between them, organizations with a higher percentage of land reform settlers, Quilombolas or indigenous people will be prioritized. In case there is a tie between informal groups, groups with a higher percentage of land reform settlers, quilombos or indigenous will be prioritized, as identified by the DAPs.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

So far, you know the priority order of suppliers who belong to Group 1 – local projects, in the selection of selling projects for school feeding.

What about the other groups: Group 2 - rural projects, Group 3 - state projects and Group 4 - national projects? Won`t the projects in these groups be included in the selection for the supply of products for school feeding?
