Applicability of Law 11.947/2009 in Family Agriculture: A documentary Analysis

This article aimed to understand the applicability of the PNAE for the development of family farming in the pole municipalities of the São Francisco Valley, through the connection between the National School Meals Program - PNAE and suppliers benefited by the hiring preference established by Law 11.947/2009, which determines that at least 30% of the amount transferred by the FNDE for school meals should be used in the acquisition of products from family farming. The Program was analyzed in the municipalities of Juazeiro/BA and Petrolina/PE, in the period from 2016 to 2021, demonstrating the amount decentralized by FNDE and applied in family farming during this period. This is a quali-quantitative, exploratory, bibliographic, and documentary research. The research findings show the application of resources in family farming by municipalities in the research period, improving the income of producers participating in the program.
