Food and Nutrition Education (FNE) represents one of the most important practices and strategies to encourage the incorporation of healthy eating habits of an emancipatory character in the lives of new generations. In this perspective, the study aimed to identify the perception of managers about FNE in the school context. It is a qualitative investigation with a hermeneutic approach. As for the ends, it involves exploratory descriptive research and as for the means, field research. Data were collected through recorded interviews with education secretaries and nutritionists, technicians responsible for school meals (12 respondents) from some municipalities in the Middle and Upper Uruguay / RS. The choice of the sample is considered simple probabilistic and random. Content analysis was chosen as a strategy for discussing the data obtained in the field research. When asked about the perception of FNE at school, respondents highlighted these actions as reflective practices, health promoters, trainers of actors and food autonomy. Regarding what could be done, they highlighted the need for constant encouragement, integrative projects, teacher training on the subject and, also, the importance of FNE work in the family environment. It is concluded that the school presents itself as a favorable environment for the development of problematic, dialogical FNE strategies and, considering the local reality, promoting the need for management and adequate planning of these actions.
