A complexidade do direito à alimentação escolar e uma visão ecossistêmica do PNAE

Abstract

The implementation of the right to education and fight against food insecurity have been priority issues that in the history of Brazil and which have been implemented through different policies. At a merging point between themwe can find the Right to School Feeding and the pro-motion of National School Feeding Program (Pnae). Such institutes have improved since their emergence in the 1950s, but setbacks and a progress can both be seen. However, it appearts that simplifying approaches prevail over a problem that seems better understood under Edgar Morin's Complexity paradigm. Using a qualitative and exploratory methodology, and with the help of the deductive method, the research seeks to answer the following question: how and to what extent do the foundations of the right to school food influence an ecosystemic view of the Pnae? The current model, arising from the institutionalization of the School Meal Program itself, still adopts a limited and Cartesian vision, in which Pnae is a federal policy instead of a national one, within the scope of constitutional powers. It is therefore necessary to open up possibilities for an ecosystemic view of the Pnae, understanding the connections between the nature of the right to school food, its actors and enforcement mechanisms.
