The National School Alimentation Program (NSAP) is the largest and oldest program promoting food and nutritional security in Brazil. Since 2009, law nº 1,147, requires that 30% of the amount passed on by the National Education Development Fund (NEDF) for the purchase of foodstuffs comes from family farming. School feeding is advocated as the right of students to have a nutritious and sustainable diet, encouraging the use of regional products, thus respecting the local food culture and the use of in nature products, typical of family farming. This research was performed through quantitative analysis in the period from 2011 to 2015 based on the information provided by the NEDF. The National School Feeding Program is growing in Brazil, from 7.08% in 2011 to 22.97% in 2015. This shows the region's commitment to comply with the legislation, although it is approximately 7% below that demanded by Law at the national level. The South region is the only region to comply with the legislation for the acquisition of foodstuffs in Family Agriculture, jumping from 12.20% in 2011 to 34.23% in 2015. The Northeast region is the least close to the percentage required by law, presenting an average yield of 14.21%. The data presented in this study demonstrate that Brazil is engaged in making the acquisitions from family agriculture, but it is still necessary to make some adjustments between municipalities and family farmers, thus increasing the quantity of purchases. Compliance with legislation is fundamental both for family farmers who guarantee the marketing of their products, generate income and have access to goods, and students of basic education, since they have regular access to food in sufficient quantity and quality and Healthier to ensure their nutrition for the development of school activities.
