“…Community gardens, portions of land cultivated by a group of people (SCHEROMM, 2015), are collective spaces for socializing and learning with powerful potential to increase life quality of maintainers and consumers. Agriculture in urban spaces may promote food security, income generation, social inclusion and socio-environmental interactions (MEDEIROS et al, 2015).…”

“…Environmentally, urban gardens provide local ecosystem services such as the regulation of urban microclimates (COSTA; SAKURAI, 2021), reduction of surface runoff, increase in air quality, and decrease in noise pollution (MEDEIROS et al, 2015;AMATO-LOURENÇO et al, 2016). Socially, community gardens encourage the rational use of public spaces by transforming idle areas, commonly used for the disposal of wastes (e. g., dumps), into spaces for social coexistence.…”

Community urban gardens are a type of urban agriculture. They provide spaces for social interaction and increase in life quality of maintainers and consumers. This study implements a community garden in Vila Buritis II, Planaltina, Brasília, Federal District, Brazil. The population of Planaltina has low purchasing power and high indices of social vulnerability. The implementation of the vegetable garden resulted from a partnership between agroecology students from the Federal Institute of Brasília, the local community, and the government. The work relied on donations, reuse of materials, and volunteer labor. Educational actions in the neighborhood approached the relationship between production in the garden and food choices, with a focus on healthy eating, consumption of fresh food, and reduction of industrialized items. The building of the vegetable garden converted an idle area, with a history of accumulating garbage and rubble, into a productive space for social coexistence and leisure. Twenty-seven edible species and an undefined number of ornamental plants were planted. Between 30 and 40 residents visit the space regularly and collect food for their daily meals. However, the maintenance and increase of garden productivity still need technical assistance and resources.

The significant concentration of the world agricultural matrix in polluting sources and with prices subject to instabilities, such as pesticides, has increased the search of countries for alternative agroecological techniques, including urban gardens, as a way of increasing food and nutritional security in the country. population. Thus, through bibliographic research, the objective of this work consists of a descriptive narrative about the potential of urban agriculture, by studying the evolution, challenges and perspectives, consolidating itself in the Brazilian agroecological matrix and contributing in the long run to greater decentralization of food production with less dependence on pesticides. In this sense, Brazil, benefited by natural factors, has favorable conditions for the exploitation of this form of agriculture and experiences great evolution, with urban gardens being among the fastest growing in the country and being one of the most competitive sources of the Brazilian agroecological matrix. However, the need for incentive policies, awareness of the population, planning of farming spaces in urban environments, in addition to creating a new incentive policy for urban agriculture and making greater investments in research and development appear as important objectives to be achieved so that urban gardens can, in fact, consolidate themselves on the national scene.
