The paper analyzes the implementation of the Plan for Progressive Introduction of Organic and Agroecological Items in School Meals in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Such policy provides for the acquisition of products derived from family agriculture according Resolution 04/2015 of the National Fund for Education Development (FNDE). The objective was to understand the political process involved, from the point of view of public action network and its instruments. For this purpose, we performed documentary research and semi-structured interviews. Documentary research was based on a survey of national and subnational legislation, while interviews were performed with representatives of four government and cicil society institutions. The results show that the actors involved in policy formulation have converging ideas in what refers to the design of public action instruments.
