Abstract

The article presents a historical balance of the Food Acquisition Program, which was structured as one of the main public policies for the construction of Food Security and Sovereignty in Brazil. We took the state of Goiás, Brazil, as a territorial cut, from 2010 to 2020. We analyzed the transformations that occurred in the Program, as well as the bottlenecks (project versus reality) for the insertion and permanence of the peasants. We observed that even with the limited scope from the spatial and social point of view, the Food Acquisition Program if strengthened, has great potential to contribute to Food Sovereignty. It generates income in the countryside and offers healthy and diversified foods in the city. The results also show the need to ensure budget allocation, given the changes in the State's political guidelines, as well as the restructuring of health requirements aimed at incorporating the diversified production of peasant agriculture.
