| description | In addition to being strategic for Food and Nutritional Security, public procurement of regional food serves as a promoter and enhancer of Brazilian biodiversity through family farming. The study aims to identify the inclusion of local, regional, and socio-biodiversity foods in public purchases within the Intermediate Region of Marabá as a tool for valuing biodiversity. This retrospective, cross-sectional, qualitative-quantitative study used secondary documentary data regarding recent purchases from family farming in 23 municipalities. The items were classified into food groups, presented in frequencies, and statistically analyzed. In both programs, local foods were predominant across the municipalities. In the PNAE (National School Feeding Program), 27.6% of the items were socio-biodiversity foods and 10.2% were regional foods, while in the PAA (Food Acquisition Program), these figures were 25.9% and 12.4%, respectively. We didn't find any differences between the policies studied and between regions when classifying these foods. However, there was a moderate correlation between PNAE and the variables ‘demographic census’, ‘number of students’ and ‘poverty’. As well as between PAA and ‘local food group’ and ‘poverty’. The results identified the presence of local biodiversity foods in both policies’ purchases, with an emphasis on cassava as local and socio-biodiverse food. However, there is still a predominance of conventional foods in these purchases. |
