Organizational framework
and the articulation of family farming to schools through public purchases of healthy and safe food; contributing to the food security of girls and boys. The Junín experience has been positive and has been replicated in other regions such as Huancavelica, Loreto, and Arequipa.
In this sense, since 2012, the Brazil-FAO Cooperation has been offering in Peru a package of actions to strengthen the PNAEQW and its articulation with family farming, through the Sustainable Schools model, based on the successful experience of School Feeding Program ( PAE ) of Brazil, in the inclusion of fresh food from family farming. Within the framework of cooperation, the model began to be implemented in Junín and has been widely accepted because it promotes territorial development and strengthens governance and leadership in the territory. On the other hand, the FAO-Brazil cooperation has offered courses aimed at strengthening the PAE, managing to train the actors linked to the PAE, especially public servants and officials from different sectors such as MIDIS, MINSA, MIDAGRI,
Likewise, within this framework of cooperation, various spaces for the exchange of learning, socialization of lessons learned and technical internships have been promoted to strengthen the officials and technical teams of the PNAEW-MIDIS and MIDAGRI. As part of these actions, in 2018 the Sustainable School Feeding Network ( RAES ) was created as a space for cooperation to deepen the dialogue on school feeding in Latin America and the Caribbean. For this year, Peru will host the meeting in the RAES, which will take place in May in Junín, for which some strategic actions have been prioritized within the framework of the MIDIS-PNAEQW-FAO work agenda. .
