Article 14 of Law 11.947 / 2009 of the National School Feeding Program establishes that, of federal transfers to state and municipal governments to carry out school feeding actions, at least 30% must be spent on the purchase of products from family farmers. The first objective is to verify the attractiveness of Article 14 for family farmers in the state of São Paulo, more specifically, its contribution to increase their income and to local development. The second is to assess the level of adherence of the São Paulo State Department of Education (SEESP), and of municipal governments to Article 14, in terms of compliance with its percentage, as well as adherence to the guidelines for nutritional improvement of School Feeding and execution of spending at the local level. As for prices, they analyzed those recorded in 197 CP, in 2012, and 212, in 2013. The prices established in the Public Calls for fresh vegetables and chicken eggs were compared with those of the wholesale ones, practiced at the Central de Entrepostos e Armazéns Gerais of the State of São Paulo (CEAGESP). In just 2% of the cases the prices of Public Calls were less than 50% of those practiced at CEAGESP, in 32%, between 50% and 100%, in 30%, between 100% and 150% and, finally, in 36% In most cases, CP prices were higher than 150% of CEAGESP prices. Although the general reality of the State is unfavorable to the production of food by family farmers, there are more localized situations in which this production occurs significantly. This is the case of Ribeira, with its specialization in banana production and close to the MMSP, and, in part, of Pontal, in which its numerous settlements are related to the fact that the local municipalities fulfill, in 2014, above 30% the Article 14, with almost all purchases made in its territory.

The impacts of expansion and technological changes on sugarcane plantations on the agricultural land structure in São Paulo state from 1975 to 2006 were studied. The Agricultural Census editions of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics were the main source of data, which were analyzed by non-conventional method. The expansion of sugarcane from 1996 to 2006 was accompanied by an increase in the participation of very large agricultural establishments and also the concentration of agricultural land ownership. The concentration of land ownership was less impacted, as entrepreneurs expanded their cane fields more by renting than by acquiring land. Among the main causes of sugarcane expansion were the strong vertical integration between sugar and ethanol factories and sugarcane plantations, not common in other activities that lost ground in São Paulo. In addition, the expansion of the mechanization of the sugarcane harvest made it difficult for small and medium suppliers to stay in sugarcane production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The work aims to evaluate the performance of the National Program for the Strengthening of Family Farming (PRONAF), the Family Agriculture Food Acquisition Program (PAA) and the National School Feeding Program (PNAE) in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The process of building public policies for family farming in Brazil between 1996 and 2016 is approached in the first moment. The data are analyzed on a national scale, taking into account the five Brazilian geographic regions. The second stage consists of the main contribution of the work, a specific assessment of the interactions between public policies for family farming with the agrarian and socioeconomic reality of the State of São Paulo between 2011 and 2016. Considering the area of the eight main agricultural crops in the State of São Paulo São Paulo, a diagnosis was carried out on the agrarian and socioeconomic structure of 94 municipalities linked to the Administrative Regions of Sorocaba, Itapeva and Registro. Then, the data of the agrarian structure was correlated with the performance of PRONAF, PAA and PNAE between 2011 and 2016, through the multivariate exploratory analysis of data, it was verified which variables are correlated with the performance of the programs. It was concluded that the programs showed a correlation with the importance of family farming and the area destined to the production of cassava, orange, soy and banana. Taking into account the intentions formally expressed in the creation of the programs, especially that of seeking to serve vulnerable farmers, the statistical statistics show that it presented a correlation with the agrarian and socioeconomic reality of the ARs considered.

Questions about the influence of prevailing systems of food production and distribution on the food sovereignty of peoples and countries were raised in the 1980s, but the debate gained strength and political importance since the 1990s. Although directly related to the theme of food security, the discussion about food sovereignty is framed differently and demands its own analyses. In this paper we discuss whether or not the Food Acquisition Program (PAA) and the National School Feeding Program (PNAE) contribute to food sovereignty, with the participation of family farming. The work is based on a literature review on the subject and two field studies: the analysis of public solicitation processes for PNAE in São Paulo municipalities in the years 2012 and 2013, and interviews with 200 agrarian reform settlers in the northern region of São Paulo conducted in 2015 and 2016.

The Midwestern Brazil Monthly Bulletin of Sugarcane Ethanol Workers Occupation is edited since 2008. It refers to an acknowledged university extension project by São Paulo State University (UNESP). A systematic survey is done to know the number of individuals involved in occupations at sugarcane ethanol companies in states from Southern, Southeastern, and Midwestern regions, based on the Brazilian Department of Labor records of formal occupation. After analysis, data are reported by electronic way in an information bulletin to nearly 400 individuals and institutions, such as companies, unions, researchers, social organizations, etc. The first aim is to measure more precisely an important social event, i.e. the effects of technological changes in sugarcane crop on sugarcane workers occupation in Midwestern Brazil. Second, it is intended to keep the social agents promptly informed, giving support to the adoption of more accurate public and private actions to face this event, such as outplacement and retraining. Fifty-one bulletins were edited until April 2014, and they are available at http://www.fcav.unesp.br/baccarin. A change was observed in the sugarcane ethanol occupation from 2007 to 2014, with loss of involvement in occupation with lower requirements of professional qualification. The mechanization of sugarcane plantation and harvest, accelerated in the last years, has caused an overwhelming number of sugarcane workers to be dismissed. The findings associated with the Bulletin have attracted researchers and the media, who frequently consult its editors, resulting into several news articles, even in nationwide media. The elaboration of this bulletin is tightly related to research development, and two researches were supported by funding organizations since 2010. Four articles were published in national journals since 2009 about this theme, along with four chapters of book, ten articles, one expanded abstract, and seven abstracts in academic meetings, including one university extension event. Also, a book about sugarcane ethanol workers occupation was organized. Furthermore, we might point out this contribution to formation of undergraduate students, who are trained for handling statistics on Brazil formal occupation and who record academic productions, observed in the development of four undergraduate research projects with scholarship, four undergraduate final reports, and seven works in undergraduate research academic events.
