Across Brazil, Community Production Units are transforming unused urban spaces into thriving agroecological gardens. These initiatives cultivate a diverse range of plants, including vegetables, fruits, medicinal herbs, and flowers, fostering biodiversity and providing access to fresh, healthy food.
These community gardens promote local autonomy by empowering residents to grow their own food and engage in collective agriculture. By avoiding pesticides and promoting sustainable practices, they also contribute to environmental recovery and raise awareness about ecological balance.
Participation is open to individuals and groups who meet the registration requirements, fostering community engagement and promoting sustainable practices. These gardens not only provide food but also serve as spaces for education, social interaction, and community building, strengthening local food systems and promoting a more sustainable way of life.
