Abstract

Abstract School feeding programs have been used in several countries to confront malnutrition and keep children in school. This study investigates the issues management and logistics of the vegetables acquired from local family farms and distributed to 203 schools in Mogi das Cruzes city, São Paulo, Brazil. Using SNA metrics and field research we analyzed the vegetables distribution pattern in 2017 year. The results show that while the production decision is a farmer's prerogative, the decision to acquire vegetables is connected to school staff, and children's consumption and this fact causes an unbalanced logistics flow increasing food waste and acquisition costs.
