Difficulty on distribution logistics;
•
Trust issues between family farmers and education department;
•
The players are not well trained for the trading process.
BIG CITIES: A HUGE CHALLENGE
Large number of students
Large budget
Urbanization = Less Family Farmers
=
High demand and insufficient supplies
NUTRE PROJECT
It is a methodology of ATER (Technical Aid and Rural
Extension) acting on two fronts:
- along with the economical organizations of the family farmers,
in order to adequate them to the school feeding demands.
- along with the municipalities’ managers,
to help them on the trading process with the family farmers.
