Abstract
PAA (Food Purchase Program) and PNAE (National School Feeding Program) are known worldwide as pioneers public policies on fighting food insecurity and rural poverty. We have analyzed the participation of a family farmers’ Cooperative on such programs as a supplier of organic products. Both programs revealed to be economically relevant and promote local governance if well executed, depending on the level of commitment from local administrations, beneficiaries and farmers. However, both are yet highly sensible to governmental changes as we’ve identified municipalities that explore their fully potential and others which do not engage, even though Brazilian law requires them so.

Summary
Farmer is a relatively recent category that gained governmental recognition in the 1990’s in Brazil. The Brazilian notion of family farming resides in the social and economic link between the rural family and the activities developed in the land in which they live at. It must be a place of both work and living. The roots for so remains in the country’s colonization, which traced a development model that pursues a large-scale production of commodities for exportation. Such model has been followed by national governments over the past five centuries as one of the most important strategies for the country’s economic growth
