Fila merenda escola indigena

In May 2022, the technology was used at the Tengatuí Marangatú Indigenous Municipal School in Dourados, MS, as part of the Ecco Comunidades program launched by the BRF Institute in partnership with the organizations Quintessa and Prosas, with the aim of reducing food losses and waste.

Within the project, the system was used to:

- Create menus with nutritional adequacy according to the nutritional per capita.
- Generate preparation sheets and shopping lists with food quantity calculations based on the number of students.
- Provide portioning recommendations by age group.
- Conduct acceptability testing with leftover monitoring.
- And other AEI functionalities.

Expansion of AEI to 7 indigenous schools

The BRF Institute, the current impact investor of AEI, enabled the continuation of the solution at Tengatuí and the expansion of the project to 6 more indigenous schools in Dourados until December 2022, with full support from the Municipal Department of Education of Dourados (SEMED). The following schools:

- Agustinho,
- Araporã,
- Francisco Meireles,
- Lacu’i Roque Isnard,
- Pai Chiquito Pedro,
- and Ramão Martins.

They all went through a routine of follow-up visits with interns and nutritionists, as well as training sessions with the cooks to improve meal preparation and the utilization of food in its entirety.
