Compras públicas da agricultura familiar: análise da execução do programa de aquisição de alimentos na modalidade compra institucional no Comando da Aeronáutica

Abstract

Family farming is increasingly becoming the subject of public policies. In view of the budgetary potential of institutional purchases and its ability to foster certain sectors, Decree No. 8,473, of June 22, 2015, established a minimum percentage of the funds received by the agencies that should be destined to the acquisition of foodstuffs from farmers family members through bidding waiver. In order to fill the identified bibliographic gap, the present study focuses on Public Administration and aims to analyze the implementation of the Food Acquisition Program in the Institutional Purchase modality in the managing units of the Brazilian Air Force, identifying the limitations of this process. For this, the research was carried out in all 28 Management Units that receive specific resources for the acquisition of foodstuffs through documentary analysis of existing processes, as well as the application of questionnaires and interviews with the managers involved. It is a descriptive and exploratory research, with a qualitative approach and characterized as a case study. As a result, it was identified, among other obstacles, difficulty of articulation between the companies and the agents that formulate and implement public policy and lack of training for managers, which contributed to the non-fulfillment of the legally established goal.
