Abstract

Governments of many countries have been discussing creative solutions to solve problems, such as a food security, inequality, environmental pollution and seeking alternative approaches other than chemicals used for food production​in modern societies. According to this current demand, in this work, we propose the design of anurbanfarmwithacommunity centre based on studies established by the Fortaleza 2040 Plan, created by the FortalezaCity Court, which suggest the implementation of the Urban Agriculture City Plan in venerable urban areas in Fortaleza-CE, to promote equality, nutritional education, environmental education in local communities and to foster sustainable production and consumption patterns. The Fortaleza 2040 Plan has delimited an area in the Manoel Dias Branco neighbourhood, near the Community and Laguna ofGengibre,tosettlethefirsturbanfarmin the city. Based on these research, the same area as that one described inthePlanwaschosen for study and design proposal in this work.
