The project Consolidation of School Feeding Programs in Latin America and the Caribbean, carried out within the framework of the Brazil-FAO Cooperation, published the document The Situational State of Sustainable Schools 2021′ in the four languages of the region: Spanish, English, Portuguese and French.
The objective of the publication is to facilitate the understanding of the methodology and to disseminate the achievements to a broad audience involved in school feeding, such as public policy managers, government authorities, technicians, NGOs, school principals, nutritionists, fathers and mothers, farmers, cooperatives, associations, students, teachers, among others.
Today, this methodology is present in 536 municipalities of the participating countries, ensuring a key source of income for 9,356 family farmers through public procurement of their production to 23,385 schools.
The design of the Sustainable Schools methodology, created in 2012, integrates the actions of the trilateral south-south cooperation on school feeding executed jointly by the Brazilian Cooperation Agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (ABC/MRE), the National Fund for Educational Development (FNDE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
Created from the premise that schools are privileged spaces for community convergence and that the social and economic development of a city is associated with educational inclusion, the methodology consists of implementing a sustainable school feeding “model” based on six components.
