RESUMO:

The production of family agriculture on agroecological bases is recognized as fundamental to promote food and nutrition security (FNS) for the world population. In this context, direct marketing channels in short circuits are spaces for access to healthy food and for strengthening family farming. The aim of this study was to describe the experiences of the Family Agriculture Fair (FAF) and the direct purchase of family agriculture by the Food Acquisition Program (PAA) at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro, reflecting on their contributions to FNS. Bibliographic and documentary research, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were carried out. The food supply was characterized, gross sales and monthly sales figures were estimated in 2017 and 2018; the socioeconomic profile of marketers and the perception of FAF consumers were researched. The execution of Public Call nº 01/2017 was described, as well as the impact of the PAA for farmers. The integration actions included the exchange of knowledge between farmers, women farmers and the academic community in the weekly coexistence at the FAF and also through classes, experiences, meetings, assemblies and technical assistance and rural extension. In the FAF, more than 200 items of own production were offered by local farmers, of which, more than 50% were classified in the segment of fruits and vegetables (FV), making the offer and commercialization of leafy vegetables (lettuce, cabbage, arugula); fruit (okra, pepper, tomato and eggplant), roots / tubers (cassava, sweet potato, carrot and yam) and fruit (banana, persimmon and green coconut). The offer of unconventional food plants (UFP) was significant, with an emphasis on bertalha and peixinho, in addition to mustard, taioba, caruru and beldroega that are part of the cultural complex of Baixada Fluminense (RJ). As for the offer of organic products, most marketers integrated the participatory guarantee system (PGS-ABIO) and the rest were in agroecological transition. The participation of women was expressive, representing the majority of marketers and consumers who also declare to spend more than men in the FAF. Regarding the PAA, ten individual farmers and one association were benefited. 37,370 kg of locally produced food were purchased, benefiting more than 1,000 students, users of University Restaurants on the Seropédica and Nova Iguaçu campuses. Among the foods purchased, the highest amount was banana prata, followed by cassava, both produced in an organic system. For farmers, the PAA contributed to increase income, diversify production, purchase goods and use new technologies. It is concluded that both channels of direct sale of family farming at UFRRJ contribute to the promotion of food and nutritional security from the following dimensions: stimulating the production, supply and acquisition of FV, UFP, organic products and the locally produced agroecological transition; income generation; formalization of farmers with wide participation of women in integration with the university.
