Vô na feira: um sistema de informação para gerenciamento de grupos de consumo responsável

Abstract

The responsible consumption has established itself as an alternative to the Brazilian model of large-scale agriculture. Responsible consumption is characterized by a production, commercialization and consumption chain, based on sustainable production and socioeconomic development of a given region. Considering this, the responsible consumption groups emerged. The responsible consumption groups are a type of organization that aims to make responsible consumption possible. They are a group of people who decide to organize themselves to develop a form of commerce that differs from the traditional model. This relationship is based on transparency between all the agents of the responsible consumption group, producers, coordinators and consumers, and it allows group participants to find better quality products that have been developed with sustainable practices. In order to help coordinators and consumers, in the inherent activities to the group, the Vô na Feira was conceived. The system was developed with Laravel framework and Scrum project management framework. Vô na Feira comprises responsible consumption group management features, as well as a buying and selling platform for consumers. At the end of the development, interviews were conducted with the target audience, coordinators, for the purpose of collecting information about the potential of the current version of the tool and its possible improvements.
