Estudo para implantação de atividades agrícolas em centros urbanos como modelo de desenvolvimento sustentável

Abstract

Food production was a fundamental factor for the human establishment as a community and, later, as a society. However, the way of producing food and plant based products was spatially developed differently from society, with a distinction between rural and urban areas, making lots of lands in rural areas degraded or irretrievable. This work aims to instruct and encourage professionals in the agricultural sector, through agronomic and environmental processes and foundations, of how it can be advantageous to use technologies aimed at urban agriculture for socio-economic purposes. Thus, it becomes possible for these professionals to have a greater services provision network, in addition to provide greater food security, less land concentration, generation of jobs and income and greater sustainability. The conditions for opening this type of service in Brazil are highly advantageous, being scarcely explored until then, and even more promising when linked to sustainable development.
