The topic of food insecurity returned to the debate in society during the Covid-19 pandemic. The PNAE is an important instrument to promote rights related to food, in addition to contributing to the strengthening of the local economy and generating income for family farmers. This article aims to carry out a qualitative analysis on the execution of the PNAE in the Municipality of São João d'Aliança – GO, especially on its contribution to local family farming and the impacts and alternatives adopted during the period of suspension of school activities during the period of Covid-19 pandemic. To achieve the intended objective, the case study was carried out through a qualitative approach, the techniques of literature review, semi-structured interview and observation were also employed. Thus, guaranteeing the triangulation of the data obtained and greater confidence in the research. In the period prior to the pandemic, the municipality exceeded the minimum amount of acquisitions from family farming (30%), especially due to the articulation between local public agents and the local farmers' cooperative. During the pandemic period, this articulation continued with the distribution of food kits to families in situations of food insecurity, overcoming challenges and opening new possibilities.
