Alimentação escolar e renda In segurança alimentar na periferia da cidade de Parintins-AM
(Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, 2017-08-29) Tavares, Marcelo
One of the main challenges today is access to adequate and healthy food. In Brazil, 84.65% of the population live in cities according to data from the last census (2010). In other words, this amount of people has in income their main means of access to food. However, other access comes through free school feeding and, in Brazil, constitutes one of the largest public policies focused on the food security of its population. The school's role in feeding a significant portion of the Brazilian population is important. In this context, school feeding, especially on the outskirts of cities, replaces one of the main daily meals. Data from the Zero Hunger Program (2003) show that for 56% of students in the Northern region, school meals represent the main meal of the day. This work is a case study of the reality of the municipal school "Sister Cristine" located in the peripheral area of Parintins / AM. The sample consisted of 157 students of the 6th year of the morning shift, of both sexes, aged between 10 and 15 years. The data will be statistically demonstrated in graphs and tables format. The analysis of the results highlights that 62% of students have school feeding as a substitute for one of the main meals. Therefore, access to food in urban areas is carried out by income and in the outskirts of the city, school feeding is part of the food security of peripheral families with low purchasing power. Thus, the general objective of our study is to verify the degree of dependency of low-income families in the urban periphery of Parintins in relation to school feeding.
