Experiências vividas com a agricultura urbana e a alimentação saudável na periferia do Recife

Abstract

This memorial aims to bring together the experiences experienced during the Bachelor's Degree in Agroecology with an emphasis on Peasantry and Popular Education (Bacep). My starting point for writing was my memories, reviews of work and immersions carried out, as well as consultations with texts and books. Urban agroecology has several challenges, but it is necessary to act immediately, as it is necessary to seek strategies together with the whole society to improve our world. This work brings my trajectory in urban agriculture and shows that it is possible to produce efficiently using alternative technologies with the aim of promoting food and nutritional security for people living in urban environments, especially on the outskirts of Recife. Agroecology is carried out by several hands and the struggle of social groups shows that unity is strong, always seeking to strengthen the peasantry and popular education. Thus, this memorial not only records my personal experiences, but also celebrates the possibility of making meaningful changes in our relationship with food, the earth and, ultimately, the planet. May each step taken towards urban agriculture and healthy eating inspire others to follow similar paths, guided by the commitment to preserving the health of our planet and ourselves.
