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.
摘要一些国家已经实施了学校供餐计划，以解决营养不良问题并让儿童继续上学。本研究调查了从当地家庭农场获得并分发给巴西圣保罗Mogi das Cruzes市203所学校的蔬菜的管理和物流问题。利用国民账户体系指标和实地调查，我们分析了2017年的蔬菜分配模式。结果表明，虽然生产决策是农民的特权，但购买蔬菜的决策与学校工作人员和儿童的消费有关，这一事实导致物流不平衡，增加了食物浪费和购买成本。
