Objective: To select in the literature the importance and challenges of food for the development
and potential of the individual, related to growth and health promotion. Method: This is a
literature review, in which the databases used were SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library
Online) and Pubmed, totaling 25 articles found with the descriptors “school feeding”, 134
articles found with the descriptors “health school” and 29 articles with the descriptors “healthy
eating”, totaling 188 articles selected. Results: After applying the defined inclusion and
exclusion criteria, 15 articles were added. The subject addressed is essential, as it emphasizes
that children and adolescents have access to quality food, as provided for in the Statute of
Children and Adolescents (ECA). As a way of analyzing the interventions and practices applied
in food and nutrition education that address school feeding as an educational strategy in the
perspective that the lunch provided during the period in which students are in the school
environment, is of quality, reflecting positively on eating habits and also in the permanence of
these students in this environment, in order to favor the full exercise of knowledge assimilation.
Conclusion: The conclusion of studies was that there are several schools that do not offer
adequate food to their users.
