Worker Nutrition Program

Abstract

Within the scope of attention that workers' health deserves to be given, the implementation of worker's food policies is essential for the promotion of their health, and are shown to be excellent tools for promoting the health and well-being of these workers. Brazil is a country that has an important trajectory in the implementation and monitoring of food and nutritional security (SAN), given its entire historical context. In this chapter, the authors will carry out a deep reflection on the importance of implementing policies for work nutrition and quality of life and well-being of workers in companies, based on the experience of implementing the PAT from 1976 to the present, highlighting the benefits, and proceeding with a critical assessment based on several published studies.
