The present work deals with the PREME, a governmental program for school meals at regional level, with focus on the Amazon state, since 2009. The goal of this program is to increment the use of regional staples in the preparation of the school lunch in order to guarantee the so called human right to an adequate nourishment and nutrition (DHAA). This concept is put forward by the LOSAN (Organic Law for Nourishment and Nutrition Security) since 2003. The purpose of this study is to know how far the concept DHAA is understood by, and implemented through, this program. The research is concentrated at the Presidente Figueiredo, AM county, which already implemented actions of the PREME. In terms of methodology, the fieldwork used as an instrument a guide produced in 2009 by the CONSEA (National Council for Nourishment and Nutrition Security). The document, entitled A Guide for the Analyses of Policies and Programs Related to Nourishment and Nutritional Security in the Perspective of the Human Rights is still classified and its utilization on this research was authorized as a pilot for evaluating the PREME/AM and the guide itself. The final considerations point out the necessity of permanent empowerment of the Commission for the Human Right to an Adequate Nourishment as a mean to provide support to the PREME in the perspective of acquiring DHAA. Furthermore, it is indicated the necessity of the creation of the equivalent councils at county level.
