O conceito de soberania alimentar surgiu após outros conceitos acerca das questões alimentares. Um deles é o conceito de segurança alimentar que após a II Guerra Mundial já trazia à tona critérios ditos como essenciais para uma alimentação digna e correta. No entanto, ainda não se falava tanto da influência da liberdade e dos modelos de produção da agricultura, que vieram a fazer parte da pauta de discussões mundiais sobre alimentação, principalmente a partir da década de 1990, período em que a partir de inúmeras discussões e propostas de movimentos sociais, foi criado o conceito de soberania alimentar. Tal conceito foi baseado no fato de que todos os indivíduos, comunidades, povos e países possuem o direito de definir suas próprias políticas da agricultura, do trabalho, do alimento e da terra. Sendo assim, o conceito de soberania alimentar chamou atenção para outras questões além da qualidade dos alimentos e por este motivo o conceito ganhou e vem ganhando grandes conotações nas cúpulas de discussões mundiais sobre alimentação. Deste modo, a presente pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar e avaliar a tratativa do conceito de soberania alimentar e suas implicações no âmbito da gestão do programa de alimentação escolar do município de Piracicaba-PNAE (SP), analisar a existência (ou não) de articulação entre o programa de alimentação escolar do município e o Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar (PRONAF) e identificar e analisar as deliberações do Conselho de Alimentação Escolar (CAE) face ao conceito de soberania alimentar. Para isso, foram realizadas pesquisas bibliográficas, análise documental e entrevistas semi-estruturadas para atingir os objetivos da pesquisa. Com base nas metodologias desenvolvidas, foi possível verificar que o conceito de soberania alimentar é pouca explorado e inserido no PNAE, ainda que seja encontrado nas falas dos gestores e alguns documentos relacionados ao programa. Um grande desafio para a efetiva incorporação da soberania alimentar no PNAE é a diversidade de atores e setores que envolvem a sua gestão. Quanto ao PRONAF e o CAE pode-se concluir que para o CAE, visa-se a necessidade de projetos contínuos e mais atrelados às necessidades de gestão e operacionalização do PNAE e no que tange ao PRONAF observou-se que para aumento da parceria entre o PNAE e os agricultores familiares, constatou-se a necessidade de se realizar ajustes nas leis do PRONAF, que aproxime e promova as parcerias entre as duas políticas e consequentemente beneficie os beneficiários. / The concept of food sovereignty came after other concepts about food issues. One is the concept of food security which have brought to be an essential criterion for a dignified and proper nutrition after World War II. However, still not talked so much the influence of freedom and agricultural production models, which became part of the agenda of global discussions on food, mainly from the 1990s, during which from numerous discussions and proposals of social movements, the concept of food sovereignty was created. The concept looked on the fact that all individuals, communities, peoples and countries have the right to set their own policies on agriculture, labor, food and land. Thus, the concept of food sovereignty has drawn attention to issues other than food quality and for this reason the concept won and still gaining great connotations in the summits of global discussions about food. Thus, this study aimed to analyze and evaluate the dealings of the concept of food sovereignty and its implications in the management of the school feeding program in the city of Piracicaba-PNAE (SP), analyze the existence (or not) of articulation between the school feeding program of the municipality and the National Program for Strengthening Family Agriculture (PRONAF) and identify and analyze the decisions of the School Feeding Council (CAE) to the concept of food sovereignty. For this, were realized literature searches, document analysis and semi-structured interviews to achieve the research objectives. Based on the methodologies developed, it found that the concept of food sovereignty is little explored and inserted in PNAE, although it is found in the statements of managers and some documents related to the program. The biggest challenge for the effective incorporation of food sovereignty in the PNAE is the diversity of actors and sectors involving management. As for the PRONAF and CAE can be concluded that for CAE, the objective is the need for continuous projects and more linked to the needs of management and operation of PNAE and in relation to PRONAF was observed that to increase the partnership between PNAE and family farmers, there was the need to make adjustments in the laws of PRONAF, that approach and promote partnerships between the two policies and consequently benefit the beneficiaries.

Este estudo objetivou desvelar os significados dos adolescentes para a construção e implementação de um plano de ação coletivo direcionado à conscientização de práticas alimentares saudáveis. O local escolhido para alcançar este objetivo foi uma escola pública do município de Vitória de Santo Antão-PE. Participaram adolescentes de 11 a 17 anos, devidamente matriculados no ensino fundamental II e de ambos os sexos. A metodologia utilizada foi da pesquisa-ação, ancorada nos pressupostos eleitos de Paulo Freire, que possui quatro fases. A primeira etapa, exploratória ou de diagnóstico, buscou apreender os significados das práticas alimentares percebidas pelos adolescentes e construir, coletivamente, um plano de ação para a conscientização de práticas alimentares saudáveis, baseado na reflexão crítica da realidade dos adolescentes. Dos 39 adolescentes que demonstraram interesse em participar, 27 adolescentes foram distribuídos em três grupos por faixa etária, composto por 7 a 12 indivíduos. Para cada um deles realizou-se uma sessão de grupo focal, na qual as discussões deram origem ao plano de ação coletivo. Na segunda etapa, fase da pesquisa aprofundada, os dados coletados nos grupos focais foram avaliados pela análise do discurso do sujeito coletivo. Em seguida, reuniram-se os representantes de cada grupo, em número de três, para apresentar estes resultados e determinar o período, horário, objetivos, técnicas a serem utilizadas em cada oficina educativa. O número dos participantes foi de 21 adolescentes da amostra inicial, escolhidos aleatoriamente. Na terceira fase houve a implementação do plano de ação elaborado nas discussões com os adolescentes. As oficinas educativas foram realizadas em quatro encontros semanais com a utilização de metodologias inovadoras e criativas pela problematização, com temas e técnicas distintas. No final, os adolescentes, agentes multiplicadores, elaboraram uma cartilha educativa sobre o conhecimento adquirido a fim de facilitar o diálogo em família. Na última etapa, foi realizada avaliação do processo de construção coletiva sobre as estratégias adotadas direcionadas à conscientização de práticas alimentares saudáveis entre adolescentes. Para isto, realizou-se entrevistas semiestruturadas individuais, com 14 adolescentes. Os depoimentos gravados foram avaliados pela análise de conteúdo, que originou quatro temas. Os resultados do estudo indicam que as metodologias ativas pela problematização promovem maior conscientização dos indivíduos, o que favorece a transformação de realidades. Apesar do conhecimento sobre alimentação saudável ser controverso e fragmentado, os adolescentes reconheceram que precisam melhorar por meio de apoio formal e informal, constituído pela escola, família e comunidade. A prática pedagógica de Paulo Freire – a partir do diálogo, conscientização e autonomia –, esteve inserida em todas as fases da pesquisa-ação, desde a construção de estratégias educativas até a avaliação, na troca de saberes entre os adolescentes e a equipe de pesquisa para apreensão do conhecimento e transformação de realidades, na qual houve a introdução de alimentos saudáveis no cardápio diário dos adolescentes, participantes deste estudo. / The problem solving educational action focused on the principles of Paulo Freire - dialogue, awareness and empowerment - provides the search for strategies aimed at promoting healthy eating habits among adolescents and consequently the transformation of their reality in order to contribute to the reduction of risk factors to the development of chronic degenerative diseases. This study aimed to uncover the meanings of adolescents for the construction and implementation of a collective plan of action aimed at raising awareness of healthy eating habits. The place chosen to accomplish this was a public school in the municipality of Vitoria Santo Antão - PE. Participated in adolescents 11 to 17 years, duly enrolled in primary II and of both sexes. The methodology used was action research, anchored in elected assumptions of Paulo Freire, which has four phases. The first stage, exploratory or diagnostic, sought to grasp the meanings of eating practices perceived by adolescents and build collectively, a plan of action to raise awareness of healthier eating habits, based on the adolescents' critical reflection of their reality. Of the 39 adolescents who have shown interest in participating, 27 adolescents were divided into three groups by age group, composed of 7 to 12 individuals. For each of them held a focus group session in which the discussions led to the collective action plan. In the second phase of the in-depth research, the data collected in the focus groups was evaluated by analysis of the Collective Subject Discourse. Then gathered the representatives of each group, three in number, to present these results and determine the period, schedule, goals, techniques to be used in each educational workshop. The number of participants was 21 adolescents in the initial sample, chosen at random. The third phase was the implementation of the action plan drawn up in discussions with the adolescents. Four weekly meetings were held for educational workshops, with 21 adolescents, using innovative and creative methodologies for problem solving, with themes and different techniques and, in the end, the adolescents developed an educational booklet with all the acquired knowledge to use in dialogue with their family, in order to propagate what was learned. In the last step, an evaluation of the process of collective construction of the adopted strategies was carried out aiming to raise awareness of healthier eating habits among adolescents. To accomplish that, 14 adolescents answered to semi-structured individual interviews. The recorded interviews were evaluated by content analysis, which originated four themes. The study results indicate that the active methods for problem solving promote greater awareness in individuals, which favors the transformation of a reality. Despite the knowledge about healthy eating being controversial and fragmented, the adolescents recognized that it needs improvement through formal and informal support, consisting of school, family and community. Paulo Freire's pedagogical practice - through dialogue, awareness and autonomy - was inserted in every stage of the Action-Research, from the construction of educational strategies to the evaluation, the exchange of knowledge among adolescents and the research team for acquisition of knowledge and transformation of reality, in which there was the introduction of healthier foods in the daily menu of adolescents participating in this study.

No. of bitstreams: 1 ShandaCouto.pdf: 1100318 bytes, checksum: 920e0cdc3948dcab82013e77f2d7834f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-03-29 / To evaluate the frequency of healthy eating habits among adolescents from high schools in the urban area of Pelotas, based on the "10 Steps to Healthy Eating" from Brazilian Ministry of Health. Methods: A school-based cross-sectional study was conducted, stratified according to school system and proportional to the number of students attending each school. A total of 1233 adolescents (13-19 years) were studied. The "10 Steps to Healthy Eating" were evaluated through a self-administered questionnaire with questions on food frequency and other questions about different aspects included in the 10 Steps. We performed descriptive analysis of the data, followed by bivariate analysis. Results: The average number of steps achieved was 1.8. The majority of the population adhered to one and two steps and only 1.7% reached more than five steps. It is noteworthy that none of the subjects achieved entirely the "10 Steps to Healthy Eating." The recommendation that had the highest frequency of compliance was step four, referring to the consumption of the combination of rice and beans at least five times a week. The recommendations that had lower frequencies of compliance were related to consumption of soft drinks, processed juices, sweets and snacks less than once a week, and step three on the consumption of three servings of vegetables / green leafes and three servings of fruit daily. Conclusion: Adherence to the "10 steps to a healthy diet" recommended by the Ministry of Health by adolescents in Pelotas was very low. Considering the present and future importance of healthy eating in adolescence, it is recommended greater investment in public policies in the area of food and nutrition. / Avaliar a freqüência de hábitos alimentares saudáveis, baseado nos 10 Passos para uma Alimentação Saudável do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil, entre adolescentes matriculados nas escolas de Ensino médio da zona urbana do município de Pelotas.

The relationship between nutrition and HIV is multifactorial. Nutrition counseling provided by a Registered Dietitian (RD) has the potential for improving disease risk outcomes for PLWH. To determine barriers to access nutritional counseling with an RD in PLWH, and evaluate the relationship of this counseling on dietary intake, nutritional status, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and HIV-disease outcomes. This is a cross-sectional study of a consecutive convenience sample of 130 PLWH on stable ART from the MASH cohort. After consenting, participants completed a survey on types and frequency of nutritional services received in the last 12 months, and on barriers to access these services. Participants were assigned to groups according to their responses. Demographics, anthropometries, dietary intake, medical history and laboratory information were obtained. The Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) scores were calculated after obtaining two 24-hour dietary recalls, and Nutribase and SPSS 20 were used for analyses. Mean age was 47.7 years, 62.0% were male and 77.0% were Black; 48% percent were seeing an RD, with 48.3% of those visiting an RD³4 times within the year. Frequently identified barriers to nutritional services were difficulty in keeping appointments (33.8%) location (24.6%) and lack of referrals (23.8%) by medical personnel. Lack of referral was associated with lower CD4 cell count (r=-0.2, P=0.029). Compared to those who did not visit an RD, participants who did had higher AHEI scores (34.7 vs. 29.2, P < 0.001), lower waist circumference (35.5 vs. 38.5 in., P=0.003), and BMI (26.0 vs. 28.8 kg/m2, P=0.019), with higher proportion of participants within the normal range of BMI (48% vs. 25%, P=0.017). The group consulting an RD had significantly lower risk factors for CVD, with better lipid profiles for all biomarkers, and lower waist circumference (35.5 vs. 38.5 inches, P = 0.003) and systolic blood pressure (114.8 vs. 127.9 mmHg, P < 0.001). Other CVD risk factors such as ART and substance abuse, common in this population, were not significantly different between the groups. Our findings suggest that consulting with an RD is associated with better nutritional status, dietary intake and lower risk factors for CVD.
