In 2026, Boa Vista's municipal education network has introduced a revamped school meal program aimed at improving the nutritional quality and variety of the meals served to students. The new menu includes dishes designed to enhance daily nutrition and cultural identity, such as feijoadinha with Brazilian rice, vegetable rice, chicken salad, northeastern couscous, and tropeiro beans, which cater to the preferences of young kids.

The reformulation of the school meals has been meticulously crafted by the city's team of nutritionists, adhering closely to the guidelines set forth by the National School Feeding Program (PNAE). Nutritionist Letícia Bueno, one of the key figures behind this initiative, emphasized that the innovations were implemented based on strict technical criteria to promote better eating habits among children, ultimately aiming to strengthen their daily dietary intake.

This initiative not only seeks to enhance nutritional standards but also aims to instill a sense of cultural identity through food. By offering a diverse array of meals that children can relate to culturally, the program hopes to improve acceptance and enjoyment of school meals among students, setting a precedent for other municipalities to follow in enhancing school feeding programs throughout Brazil.
