[Convergence of public policies on education to promote a healthy and appropriate dietConvergencia de las políticas públicas educativas en el fomento de la alimentación adecuada y saludable].

The present report describes the process of convergence between the Brazilian National School Feeding Program (PNAE) and the Brazilian National Textbook Program (PNLD), highlighting a project that introduced diet and nutrition topics on the covers of textbooks distributed at no cost to all public schools in Brazil. This intersectoral initiative speaks directly to the recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population, the principles of the Nutrition Education Framework for Public Policies, and the proposals laid out in the United Nations Decade of Action on Nutrition. The report shows that the construction of a dialogic and intersectoral space is a possible path to promote a healthy and appropriate diet among students.
