Abstract:

In 2009, with the enactment of Law number 11.947, the farthest Brazilian school nutritional policy, besides benefiting all the public basic education network, aggregates an important market for the family agriculture. At least 30% of the National Fund for Education Development's financial allocation must buy food originating from it. However, in the Federal Institutes, important institutions for the nutritional and food security scope as well as for the local and regional development, the National School Nutrition Program (PNAE) operationalization has been difficult. In these institutions, the implementation is complex, it involves social relations among many actors, the discretion of the implementation partners, and intuitional elements. This article aims to present how implementing actors, their social relations, and institutional elements, can stimulate the specific dynamics for the Program operationalization. For this purpose, the study locus was the Education, Science, and Technology Federal Institute of Baiano (IF Baiano) in the Senhor do Bonfim Campus. The study case was the methodological path adopted with a descriptive quali-quanti nature, bibliographic and documental study, and semi-structured interviews. The results showed that the social relations, institutional elements, and local specificities influenced the implementation and the public policies results.
