Abstract (Translated): 
This study is intended to verify the effects of recent regulatory changes in the National School Feeding Program (Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar - PNAE), in particular the insertion of agriculture as a public to be prioritized in the purchase of food, on its potential contribution to the food security agenda and nutrition in the country. For this, we opted for an analysis of purchases made on behalf of the program in order to identify whether the food supplied met the necessary requirements for promoting adequate and healthy food, for 2016. The foods informed on this basis were classified by food groups, according to the IBGE classification list and also by the new classification, used by the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population, which classifies foods into five groups: in natura, minimally processed, culinary ingredient, processed and ultra-processed. The numbers analyzed allow us to say that the supply of products from family farming to the PNAE, in addition to guaranteeing a minimum food supply to students of different ages and favoring learning by contributing to the attendance of students, has also helped in the formation of healthy eating habits among the beneficiaries.
