RODRIGUEZ-GONZALEZ, Shirley; SCHNEIDER, Sergio  e  COELHO-DE-SOUZA, Gabriela. Reconnection production-consumption: change to achieve food and nutritional security, as well as rural development. Agron. Mesoam [online]. 2015, vol.26, n.2, pp.373-385. ISSN 2215-3608.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/am.v26i2.19332.

The aim of this study was to analyze the importance of changing the conventional food system to achieve food and nutritional security, as well as rural development. This text was divided into three sections. In the first one, the conventional food system and its consequences were characterized, showing the need for a change that seeks the integration of social, environmental, and health dimensions. The second part addressed the interventions related to the food supply system made by the Government, which are fundamental to achieve food and nutrition security, as well as to promote development processes in rural areas. Finally, the experience of Brazil's National School Feeding Programme was presented. That program links food produced by small producers with the National School Feeding Program, allowing the reconnection of production and consumers through institutional markets. That link created incentives for food and nutrition security of small farmers and, at the same time, improved the availability of higher- quality food for vulnerable populations and promotedeating patterns that allow the preservation of food culture.
