The CEASA, of Goiás, located in the city of Goiânia, has a lot of problems with the large quantity of food that is wasted inside its prencises. Lots of vegetables and fruits that can be used are going to the garbage can every day. This problem means a catastrophy to the local economy, specially to the society: beggars come to collect the fruits and vegetables that are in good conditions. In this academic works auctor, I studied the wasted food in the Central of Supply of Goiás and a possible consumer to the processed product that is made of oddment fruits and vegetables. Three researchs were made to check some solutions for that problem. The first one was made in the Central to check the quantity of food that was been wasted. The second one was about the opinion of the employees; they talked about their ideas and solutions for the problem. The last one, made in four institutions, makes an evaluatian if the alternative would have the popular approbation by questionnaires, presentations and movies. The results showed that there is a lot of factors show points to a solution that can be easily implanted and the possible consumers approved the proposition. It was concluded that the processed food is an interesting alternative and could resolve the problem of wasting food and decrease the costs of food for the social institutions.
