Full textThe senegalese sahel is characterized by a very old but still discontinuous urbanization. Since senegal was independent in 1960, deep changes have occured, which have given birth to a new urban setup. During all that time, the rate of the population increase in those small towns has by and large remained high. In small urban centres, farm activities play an essential part in that they promote the development of other economic activities. Farmproduce industry has successfully contributed to the wealth of richard toll and dagana in the senegal delta, while both the tightness of the local market and the low income of the population have shrunk the expansion of craft industry. The road system development has led up to bypass old colonial commercial stops. Presently, small, urban trade confines itself to the redistribution of manufactured and food-producting goods. Lastly, small towns are also characterized by their inedequate equipement but, for some years, they have been tending to differentiate as far as housing conditions ans social development are concerned

Full textConsumption of vegetables grown in a soil contaminated by trace metals and direct soil inhalation pose a risk to human health. In order to maintain the sustainability of urban gardens, predicting the evolution of metals in soils should allow to identify risks related to metal contamination of soil, and thus to apply practices to better preserve the functions rendered by garden soils and target a more efficient rehabilitation of contaminated soils. We used a mass balance model to simulate the evolution of soil metals under the different gardening practices over time. The mass balance was improved to make it more applicable to vegetable gardens by considering the regular and intensive use of organic waste amendments. Leaching and plant uptake are the main flows of metals loss in soils. We incorporate the RothC and VSD+ models to simulate the changes in soil carbon and pH over time, respectively. Specific values of plant uptake factor for over 60 vegetable species have been collected from literature to simulate metal loss via plant uptake. Metal input flows are associated to chemical fertilizers, organic waste amendment, pesticides and atmospheric deposition. Soil tillage depth and crop rotation have also been considered in the model. We predicted the evolution of soil metal (Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) concentrations in 104 French vegetable gardens over the next 100 years. If current gardening practices are maintained, an increase in soil Cd (35% on average), Cu (183%), and Zn (27%) contents should occur after a century. Soil Pb concentration should not vary consistently. The model has also been used to simulate the historical and future trends of soil metal concentrations in the King’s Vegetable Garden (Potager du Roi) in Versailles, which has more than 300 years of gardening practices since its creation in 1683. Simulated soil pH and OM by the integrated RothC and VSD+ modules are very close to measured values, with variation less than 10%. Soil Zn contents have been well simulated comparing to measured values, with a variation range of 3% to 25% in different scenarios. Less accurate results were found in the historical trend simulations of Cd, Cu and Pb content in soils. In the future trend simulations, the soil metal contents will increase by 39% for Cd, 20% for Cu, 5% for Pb, and 32% for Zn for the next century, while the current gardening practices will be maintained in King’s Vegetable Garden. Green waste compost contributes over 70% of the total input and output metal flows. Moreover, there would be a chronic over-exposure to Cd and Pb for people who would only consume vegetables grown in the King's Vegetable Garden in the future. According to the results of the simulations, current gardening practices can lead to accumulation of metals in French vegetable garden soils. A standard for gardening practices should be developed to prevent/mitigate soil metal contamination in order to ensure food safety

Full textCities are becoming denser at the expense of nature spaces that are correspondingly decreasing, as are the ecosystem services associated with them. Faced with this observation, the greening of buildings appears as a valuable alternative. Nowadays, green roofs have become a planning tool in urban planning. These roofs take different forms, adapting to urban constraints and challenges. In recent years, a new form of green roof has emerged: productive green roofs (i.e. of edible biomass). Despite a growing interest, rooftop farming is still poorly developed and known. Their design, their development and especially, the ecosystem services they could deliver are still poorly understood and need to be known. Keystone to green roofs, the soil in place directly and indirectly influences the provided ecosystem services. Despite, it’s key role, soil is still poorly studied. Furthermore, non-renewable products such as pozzolan or expanded clay or peat are today mostly used in their composition. In this work we have studied constructed soils, named Technosols, for productive roofs made only of urban wastes. The objectives of this thesis were: (i) to achieve a quantitative assessment of delivered ecosystem services (ii) analyze the first stages of Technosol pedogenesis. In order to do so, three experimental devices were implemented on the “Bertrand Ney” rooftop of the technical University AgroParisTech in Paris. The experimental devices consist of multiple plots filled with different disposal of five urban wastes: green waste compost, shredded woods, crushed tiles and bricks, spent coffee grounds used to grow mushroom and a biowaste compost. The impact of the different Technosols on (i) ecosystem services, (ii) food production (quality and quantity), (iii) fertility) and (iv) temporal evolution, were assessed. Constructed Technosol are fertile and allow a consistent food production over one to five years. The level of food production was equivalent to that of a professional producer and food quality regarding trace metal element was below existing norms. The quantitative assessment of ecosystem services (food production, urban waste recycling, rainwater retention and overflow quality (C and N)), highlighted the multifunctional nature of productive green roofs. However, we identified an ecosystem disservice which is an alteration in the quality of the leachates due to carbon leaching and presumably other elements. A first phase of rapid and strong pedogenesis was observed marked by an intense biodegradation and lixiviation of the Technosols. Our works identified two trade-offs in the design of a productive Technosol: between (i) the biodegradation or organic materials (ensuring the supply of mineral nutrient to plants) and the maintenance of the structure and porosity of the Technosol (i.e. its physical fertility) and (ii) the supply of nutrients by biodegradation and leaching, resulting in a loss of these elements and an alteration of the quality of percolation waters on the other hand. Knowledge of the properties of the materials used to build Technosols and on their link with the expected ecosystem services already makes it possible to design multifunctional productive rooftop based on urban waste and manage them sustainably

Full textThis research, undertaken by a professional urban planner, aims to explore already implemented regional planning methods, to analyze the forms and conditions of the convergence of public policies in the fields of urban planning and agriculture, to identify the tools available to local decision makers to achieve this convergence, resulting in sustainable development objectives set by the authority. The separate management of agricultural and urban spaces has contributed to the loss of the historical link of interdependence and complementarity, which has long defined the relationship between cities and countryside. With the existence of a limited effectiveness of planning documents to reduce the consumption of agricultural space, the problem to be managed is that of maintaining agriculture as it competes with other uses. By analyzing the regional impacts (both environmental and socio-economic) of existing public policies regarding agriculture and urban planning, this research aims to question the professional work practices, the concepts and existing urban planning methods. The research hypothesis posits the need to consider the construction of an agri-urban actionable framework, which integrates all interaction between agriculture, the city and nature, to discover new methods which will allow the integration of “agriurbanisme” into public action. This hypothesis integrates all previous studies, which include a diversity of personal experience, past and present, of the urban planner/researcher as well as specific project research experience (e.g. urban community of Bassin Brive in Corrèze). This endeavor aims to comprehend the conditions of the transition from an agricultural misconception of urban planning to the construction of an actionable framework and, ultimately to the implementation of an operational “agriurbanism” model. This shift from an agri-urban perspective to operational agri-planning questions the practices of urban planning professionals, challenges not only local politicians in their governance methods but civilians as well (particularly in agricultural areas), invites both transdisciplinarity and controversy resulting in economical space management or agricultural land preservation. As for the complex relationship of the city with it’s natural and living surroundings, the agri-urban interdependencies are challenged to define a new developmental approach more favorable to the needs of regional sustainable development

Full textThis thesis is aimed to analyze the characteristics of the relation between cities and rivers, and also the transformations of riverine zones under urbanization, with the case study of Hanoi and Red river, which is typical of this relation in Southeast Asia. Red river is an important base of Vietnamese’s settlement, the evolution of the riverine zones and urban water form of Hanoi. Its relation with the city is built by some contrary characteristics. The river brings the city opportunities, but also threatens it with a risk of inundation: firstly, the river contributes to the development of agriculture by bringing water and depositing alluvium on the riverbank; it also creates an important fluvial traffic and make up the city’s form. However, flood from the river is always a persistent peril. Throughout the history, the inhabitants have been seeking to cohabit with the river. The construction and the evolution of the dyke is a typical example of this process. The dyke prevents the river from flooding the city, but it also divides the city into 2 parts. This separation brings on many problems. Under pressure of urbanization and lack of land register, the densely populated outside-dyke zones in city center and the new urban quarters in the South are transforming rapidly. Accordingly, an interdisciplinary research was carried out in order to analyze the process and the consequences of these transformations. In the context of a « new capital » from 2008 and its master plan for 2030 with many development strategies concerning urban expansion and the migration towards the city center, this research focus on economic evolution, land dispute, transformations of the system of urban infrastructure and their environmental consequences in the new riverine urban quarters, social problems in the central zones where concentrated by a lot of immigrants, the hesitation between modernity and tradition in the handicraft villages. Finally, this thesis is aimed to analyze the contrary impacts of these transformations to urban development of Hanoi, especially in landscape and in urban infrastructure

Full textA l’instar de ce qui est constaté dans d’autres pays du Sud, la population urbaine de Dakar croît rapidement, tant par le croît naturel que l’immigration. Cela pose, entre autres, les questions de l’approvisionnement alimentaire, notamment en produits frais et de la gestion durable des espaces ouverts : les Niayes et les zones agricoles en périphérie de Rufisque. Aussi, deux programmes sont en cours à Dakar : le PASDUNE et les Microjardins, réactualisent la nécessité d’examiner la place d’une agriculture durable dans le fonctionnement de cette région capitale. La problématique présente les concepts d’ griculture urbaine, multifonctionnalité de l’agriculture et ville durable ainsi que le contexte. La méthodologie repose sur des enquêtes auprès de six catégories d’acteurs (agriculteurs, commerçants et bana-banas, consommateurs, élus, planificateurs et aménageurs et agents du conseil et de l’encadrement technique agricoles) pour tester les trois hypothèses suivantes : différentes fonctions sont reconnues aux Niayes et à l’agriculture ; les fonctions économiques prédominent ; cette reconnaissance fonctionnelle est importante pour maintenir une agriculture in situ. Nos résultats montrent que : - même si toutes les catégories d’acteurs sont conscientes du rôle alimentaire de proximité que joue l’agriculture intra et périurbaine à Dakar, les acteurs de la filière agricole – agriculteurs, intermédiaires (commerçants et bana-banas) et consommateurs – plébiscitent les fonctions économiques alors que les décideurs – élus, planificateurs et aménageurs et agents du conseil et de l’encadrement technique agricoles – mettent en avant les fonctions environnementales et paysagères (poumon vert) ; - à partir de la typologie fine que nous avons construite, il existe une grande diversité des types de systèmes de production et d’activité dans les quatre zones clé (avec ou sans Niayes, dans ou hors du tissu urbain dense) d’agriculture que nous avons identifiées. De plus, la durabilité intrinsèque et exogène des exploitations, au sens de Godard et Hubert (2002), est variable selon les types de systèmes de production et d’activité et les zones ; - les intermédiaires et les consommateurs accordent beaucoup d’importance à la fraîcheur et au prix bon marché des produits de Niayes mais certains évoquent la limite de l’utilisation des pesticides et des eaux usées urbaines sur certains sites et considèrent les produits micro-jardins comme plus sains. Enfin, la discussion confronte nos résultats avec la bibliographie et relève les limites de notre étude tout en soulignant les perspectives scientifiques et opérationnelles qu’elle offre. Notre travail montre la grande diversification de l’agriculture dakaroise et la nécessité d’instaurer une médiation entre les catégories d’acteurs pour une agriculture durable, un cadre de vie meilleur et une ville durable
As it is generally noted in other developing countries, the urban population of Dakar is fast growing, due to natural growth and immigration. This situation raises, among others, the issues of food supply, particularly fresh produces and sustainable management of opened spaces: Niayes and agricultural areas in the surroundings of Rufisque. Moreover, two programs ongoing in Dakar: the PASDUNE (Program of actions for protection and urban development of the Niayes and green zones of Dakar) and the Microgardens are re-actualizing the necessity to examine the place of a sustainable agriculture in the working of this capital region. The problematic presents the concepts of urban agriculture, multifunctionality of agriculture and sustainable city and the context. The methodology is based on surveys of six categories of actors (farmers, retailers and bana-banas, consumers, elected people, planners and agents of the agricultural council and technical training) to test the three following hypotheses: different functions are recognized to Niayes and agriculture; economic functions predominate; this functional recognition is important to maintain agriculture in situ. Our results show that: - even if all categories of actors are aware of the food supply role of the intra and periurban agriculture in Dakar, the actors of the agricultural sector - farmers, middlemen (retailers and bana-banas) and consumers – place in a prominent position the economic functions while decision-makers - elected people, and agents of the agricultural council and technical training - put forward environmental and landscape (green lung) functions; - From the thorough typology we built, there is a great diversity of production and activity’s systems in the four key areas (with or without Niayes, near or far from the city) of agriculture we have identified. Moreover, intrinsic and exogenous sustainability of farms, in the meaning of Godard and Hubert (2002), is variable depending on the types of production and activity’s systems and the areas; - The middlemen and consumers give great importance to the freshness and the cheapness of Niayes produces but some of them have talked about the limit of using wastewater and pesticides in some sites and have considered that micro-gardens’ produces are more wholesome. At last, the discussion compares our results with the bibliography and notes the limits of our study while stressing the scientific and operational perspective it offers. Our work shows the great diversification of Dakar’s agriculture and the necessity to set up mediation between the different categories of actors in order to promote a sustainable agriculture, a better living environment and a sustainable city

Full textWithin the framework of a research in social geography, this thesis is interested in the urban agricultures, particularly in those practiced or lived by the city-dwellers: the professional farming that makes the periurban landscapes, the farms involved in short food supply chains, hobby farming, family and community gardens, public places used as farming places. According to location, mutual features and metropolitan governance, we proposed a definition of the urban agriculture which joins in a constructive way intra- and peri-urban spaces, professional and hobby farms, private, public and auto-appropriate agricultural spaces.The study took place in the city of Rennes, in Brittany (France), on the basis of exploratory surveys, on the basis of participating observation and on the basis of twelve in-depth interviews with gardening citydwellers who live the town and country relationship in terms of productive activities but also in terms of sociability, food practices and agro-ecological initiatives. The main results of the thesis are among four. Firstly, the in-depth description of the modes of involvment in the gardens as a spatial issue which represents today the productive nature in the city. Secondly, thanks to a topological approach and to its associated mapping, the highlighting of lived spaces richness for the inhabitants-gardeners, spaces which exceed widely the only current gardening place. Thirdly, "polytopic networks" built by the agricultural experiences of the city-dwellers are sources of questioning not only on the modalities of farming but also on the food and on their contribution to the construction of the city. Fourthly, the agricultural production can be considered as an urban function reconnecting the inhabitant with his environment, thus renewing the inhabiting modes, itemized as three "gardening attitudes": "clever gardener", "rurban gardener" and "militant gardener"

Full textCollective gardens of Île-de-France and the Kazan region are examples of one of the oldest forms of urban gardening in Europe and they are at the interface between the city and the countryside. At the local level, despite their domestic and private roles, gardens also referring to a community structured around complex norms and tensions between different generations of gardeners. These communities are based on agricultural work, strong neighborhood relations which is why they can be analysed through the concept of idealized peasant community. At the metropolitan level, collective gardens affirm an agrarisation of the city because they build an agri-urban way of live, promoting a low urban density and new eating habits. Moreover, they make connections between urban and rural actors. Finally, tension between agrarization and urbanization highlights the role of gardens in the city’s construction, as they maintain agricultural land in a context of urban spreading and densification. In this approach, the franco-russian comparison particularly supports a reflection on the hybridization of agrarization and urbanization with the affirmation of a right to land in resonance with the right to the city
Коллективные сады из Иль-де-Франс и Казаны являются одной из древнейших форм городского садоводства в Европе, которая находятся между городским и сельским миром. На местном уровне, несмотря на их домашнюю и частную роль, сады строят сообщества, структурированные вокруг сложных норм и напряженности между разными поколениями садоводов. Эти сообщества - основаны на сельскохозяйственной работе и крепких соседских отношениях, поэтому их можно проанализировать с помощью концепции идеализированного крестьянского сообщества. На уровне метрополии, коллективные сады утверждают аграризацию города и создают сельско-городской образ жизни, способствуя созданию менее плотного городского пространства и новых привычек питания. Кроме того, они устанавливают связи между городскими и сельскими населением. Наконец, напряженность между аграризацией и урбанизацией подчеркивает роль садов в строительстве города, поскольку они сохраняют сельскохозяйственные земли в условиях распространения и уплотнения городов. При таком подходе, франко-российское сравнение особенно подчеркивает гибридизацию аграризации и урбанизации с подтверждением права на землю и права на город

Resumo: Esta dissertação avalia o Projeto de Agricultura Familiar em Faixa de Dutos (PAF Dutos), entre os anos 2005 e 2008, em 04 diferentes áreas nos municípios de Nova Iguaçu e Duque de Caxias no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Este projeto foi uma parceria entre a Petrobrás, a Transpetro, as organizações não governamentais ITPA (Instituto Terra de Preservação Ambiental) e Entidade Ambientalista Onda Verde. No projeto 85 famílias foram selecionadas nas comunidades próximas e receberam todos os insumos necessários para produção (sementes, mudas, equipamentos e ferramentas, poço semi-artesiano, energia elétrica, caminhão e agroindústria, dentre outros), além de uma equipe multidisciplinar para assessoramento técnico e organizacional. Analisaram-se as oportunidades locais geradas com a implantação do projeto e as possibilidades de garantia de sustentabilidade para as famílias envolvidas. Foram produzidas mais de 15 variedades de hortaliças em lotes de aproximadamente 1000m². Os produtos foram comercializados principalmente para merenda escolar nas creches e escolas municipais, atendendo mais de 30000 crianças nos dois municípios. Além disso, os produtos comercializados em feiras locais nas comunidades mostraram que alimentos orgânicos podem ser acessíveis às comunidades de baixa renda. Houve benefícios diretos e indiretos, tanto para os agricultores quanto para as comunidades envolvidas. A metodologia de implantação mostrou-se replicável para outras realidades. Entretanto a descontinuidade do projeto, antes da completa formação dos agricultores, dificultou a permanência das famílias na atividade e a manutenção dos resultados positivos. Observou-se que a parceria Estado - sociedade civil pode trazer desenvolvimento para comunidades pouco assistidas, desde que haja um trabalho multidisciplinar e um investimento permanente em toda a cadeia produtiva até a completa formação das famílias, tanto do ponto de vista de produção quanto do ponto de vista de organização.
Abstract: This thesis evaluates the Family Farming Project in Pipeline Range (PAF Pipeline) between the years 2005 and 2008, in 04 different areas in the municipalities of Nova Iguaçu and Duque de Caxias in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This project was a partnership between Petrobrás, Transpetro, non-governmental organizations ITPA (Institute of Earth and Environmental Preservation) and environmentalist entity Onda Verde. In the project were selected 85 families in nearby communities that received all inputs needed for organic production (seeds, seedlings, equipment and tools, semi-artesian well, electric power, truck and agro industry, among others), they also had a multidisciplinary team for technical and organizational advice. Local opportunities generated by the implementation of the project and the possibilities of ensuring the sustainability for the families involved were analyzed. More thann 15 varieties of vegetables were produced in lots of land of about 1000m ². The products were marketed primarily for school feeding in public schools and kindergartens, having served more than 30,000 children in the two municipalities. Furthermore, products sold at fairs in local communities have shown that organic food can be accessible to low-income communities. There were both direct and indirect benefits for farmers and for the communities involved. The methodology of implementation has proven replicable for other realities. Meanwhile the discontinuation of the project before full training of farmers hampered the permanence of families in the activity and the maintenance of positive results. It was observed that the partnership between Governmental enterprises, non-governmental and civil society can promote the development of communities little assisted, when provided with a multidisciplinary work and a permanent investment throughout the production chain until the full formation of families, both in production and organization.

Full textUrban agriculture (UA) and pollution are two worlds more inter-connected every day, creating one of the main challenges of sustainable cities as persistent metal(loid) contamination increases as much as the interest for urban agriculture. Biofertilizers and bioamendments used in UA (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, compost, and biochar) can influence the mobility of contaminants in soil. This study aims to better understand the fate of anthropic or geogenic, major (Cd, Pb) and emerging (Sb), inorganic contaminants in soil-plant-biofertilizer systems and their human bioaccessibility. While contaminant mobility in soil is affected by biofertilizers, their origin influences also their bioaccessibility. The fungal community seems crucial in this phenomenon but is impacted by compost addition. Hence, using these biofertilizers in contaminated soils has to be thought wisely because of the multiple interactions affecting contaminant's phytoavailability

Abstract: The accelerated growth of cities associated with inefficient planning has caused numerous environmental issues that affect the population quality of life. In this context of changes in natural environment conditions, several scientific studies have been carried out, among which stand out those who focused on studying the climate of cities. Therefore, the present research was based on the theoretical and methodological proposal of the Urban Climate System (UCS), with emphasis on the thermodynamic subsystem. The main objective was to investigate the effects of urban agricultural areas on the intensity of heat islands in Florianópolis - SC, with regard to temperature conditions, one of the main climatic elements responsible for thermal comfort. The emphasis given to Florianópolis is related to the presence of a legal framework that provides for the implementation and support of agricultural practice in intra-urban and peri-urban spaces. The methodological procedures performed consisted of researching temperature data using remote sensing techniques and fixed points. Landsat-8 satellite images were treated and analyzed, which presented differences in the thermal characteristics of the targets, comparing densely built areas with non-built spaces, revealing intensities of surface heat islands of up to 14ºC. The areas with the highest vegetative development, with emphasis on those located at the top of hills, presented the lowest temperatures in the scenes, and the areas of urban an...

Full textThe following research proposal emerges from the reflection of our current food production system and cities supply and their consequences to the environment and to city people’s health. Presently, there is a movement towards food production comeback in cities, where the majority of the present world population lives. Such movement has the goal of reducing the environmental impacts caused by intensive farming, as well as providing fair access to healthier food, at more affordable prices. Sustainable development aims at resilient systems of production, as well as on safer and more self-reliant cities. A self-reliant city provides basic infrastructure, keeping it into its ecological footprint. During the search for alternatives for more sustainable cities planning, the concept of urban agriculture (UA) was identified, more specifically backyard food production. Home food gardens, considered to be one of the oldest ways of producing food, seem to be UA’s most successful strategy to increase family food security, besides providing a number of added benefits. This way, the main goal of this research is contributing to a better understanding on how residential food gardens can constitute a strategy to increase food security in cities, particularly in urban areas and small towns aiming a higher degree of sustainability. For the development of this study, two specific research strategies were used: literature review and case study. The research was carried out in three steps: comprehension, development and reflection. In the comprehension step, a literature review was made in order to better understand the subject and to look for subsidies for the following steps. In the development step, an exploratory study on the object of study was made. The object of study was the municipality of Feliz (RS), where the goal was to evaluate in what extent residential food gardens could supply a family’s necessities of food and what other benefits it could provide to urban inhabitants, and, on a second stage, a methodology was developed to assess the potential of the area of study with regard to food self-reliance. In the reflection step, the results of the research and theoretical contributions were presented. In addition, a sample of home food gardens were identified and analyzed, and showed that there are already various good initiatives aiming at food self-reliance in the area of study, being as well identified the availability of potential plots for expanding urban agriculture in the municipality’s area.

A Agricultura Urbana (AU) tem sido objeto de estudos recentes, devido à sua grande importância junto às ciências sociais e políticas e sua localização dentro dos limites das cidades contemporâneas. Suas implicações na Ecologia Urbana vão desde a manutenção de áreas verdes e interação com a fauna, até a perpetuação de saberes tradicionais da população, passando por questões como a segurança alimentar de seus habitantes, a utilização dos recursos naturais, e a sustentabilidade urbana. Entender como a Agricultura Urbana está inserida na Ecologia Urbana permite criar propostas integradas a outras questões de cunho ecológico que venham a direcionar a cidade para um futuro sustentável. O presente estudo teve como objetivo central compreender a dimensão ecológica da agricultura urbana, nas áreas intra e periurbanas, do Distrito Sede do município de Juiz de Fora, Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil, analisando como a prática da agricultura urbana dialoga com a ecologia desta cidade. Através das indicações de informantes foram encontradas 179 áreas de ocorrência de AU em Juiz de Fora, separadas em setores específicos na execução desta pesquisa: Projetos Sociais Municipais, Escolas (municipais, estaduais, federais e particulares), Instituições (públicas, religiosas, assistenciais e unidades básicas de saúde), Áreas de Produção Comercial, e Quintais Produtivos (no bairro Monte Castelo). Entrevistas semi-estruturadas e visitas foram realizadas em um total de 77 áreas. A partir do resultado obtido empiricamente, foi possível categorizar os agricultores urbanos de Juiz de Fora (migrantes rurais, idosos, professores, alunos, beneficiários de projetos e agricultores comerciais) que associaram a atividade agrícola a uma melhoria na qualidade de vida, apresentando orgulho de suas produções, felicidade e apreciação da beleza cênica. Constatou-se que as interações ecológicas se dão de várias formas, sendo encontrados pontos positivos como o menor deslocamento entre a produção e o consumidor final, a manutenção e criação de áreas verdes e com solo permeável, a pouca utilização de agrotóxicos, o fornecimento de alimento e habitat para indivíduos da fauna, a diversidade de espécimes vegetais, o aproveitamento de resíduos orgânicos através de compostagem (pouca ainda), a aproximação das pessoas com o verde e a utilização da AU como ferramenta de educação ambiental, alimentar e cidadã. Dentre os pontos negativos levantados estão: a utilização de águas contaminadas, a utilização de alguns agrotóxicos e de adubação química, e o pouco aproveitamento dos resíduos orgânicos. Sendo que a maioria dos problemas relacionados com a má utilização dos recursos naturais pelos agricultores urbanos se deve a falta de instrução, treinamento e acompanhamento. A pesquisa constatou que as áreas agrícolas urbanas em Juiz de Fora constituem locais de grande importância para os envolvidos, para a conservação dos recursos naturais e biodiversidade, para a manutenção de saberes tradicionais e são fundamentais na busca por uma sustentabilidade desta cidade.
The urban agriculture (UA) has been the object of recent studies due to its importance from the social and policy sciences and its location within the limits of contemporary cities. Their implications for Urban Ecology ranging from the maintenance of green areas and interaction with wildlife, to the perpetuation of traditional knowledge of the population, through such issues as, food security of its inhabitants, use of natural resources and urban sustainability. Understanding how Urban Agriculture is embedded in the Urban Ecology, create integrated proposals to other environmental issues that will guide the city into a sustainable future. This study aimed to understand the ecological dimension of the Urban Agriculture, within urban and in suburban areas of the District Headquarters of the municipality of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Brazil, analyzing how the practice of Urban Agriculture occurs and argue with the ecology of this city. Were found 179 areas of UA occurrence in Juiz de Fora indicated by the informants, separated into specific sectors in the implementation of this research: Social Municipal Projects, Schools (municipal, state, federal and private), Institutions (public, religious, welfare and basic health units), Commercial production areas, and Productive backyards (neighborhood of Monte Castelo). Semi-structured interviews and visits were carried out in a total of 77 areas. From the empirical result, it was possible to categorize the urban farmers of Juiz de Fora (rural migrants, elderly, teachers, students, beneficiaries of projects and commercial farmers) who joined the agricultural activity to an improvement in quality of life, having pride of their productions, happiness and appreciation of scenic beauty. The ecological interactions occur in several ways, being observed positive points as the smaller distance between production and final consumer, the maintenance and creation of green areas and permeable soil, low use of agrochemicals, supply of food and habitat for fauna individuals, diversity of plant specimens, use of organic waste through composting (still low), the approach of people with the green and use of the UA as a tool for food, citizen and environmental education. Among the negative points raised are: the use of contaminated water, the use of some pesticides and chemical fertilizer, and little use of organic waste. The majority of problems related to bad use of natural resources by farmers are due to lack of education, training and monitoring. This research found that urban agricultural areas in Juiz de Fora are places of great importance for those involved, for the conservation of natural resources and biodiversity, for the maintenance of traditional knowledge, and are fundamental in the search for sustainability of this city.

A urbanização decorrente do processo de industrialização brasileira,ocorrida a partir da segunda parte do século XX, período pós Segunda Guerra Mundial, causou influência nos aspectos infra estruturais dos grandes centros, com processo massivo de desenvolvimento da produção dos bens de consumo e o estímulo da indústria e, consequentemente, o crescimento populacional da malha urbana. Passado este período, e após a entrada de sucessivas estagnações e recessões econômicas, ocorreram problemas estruturais socioeconômicos quanto à saúde e as questões sociais, ocasionando, entre outras mazelas, a insegurança alimentar. É nesse aspecto, da segurança alimentar e nutricional nos centros urbanos que é abordada a Agricultura Urbana. A atividade concentra-se na produção agrícola dentro de espaços urbanos, e espera-se que promova, além da melhoria no meio ambiente e reorganização dos espaços urbanos ociosos e poluídos, a segurança alimentar com benefícios a saúde dos praticantes da atividade. O presente estudo consistiu em analisar o impacto da Agricultura Urbana sobre a Segurança Alimentar dos praticantes consumidores da atividade de Agricultura Urbana e Periurbana (AUP) no município de Maringá, Estado do Paraná, por meio da avaliação das escalas de insegurança alimentar bem como análise estatística descritiva e regressão múltipla linear. Além disso, foram caracterizados seus integrantes e disponibilidade de alimentos, em quantidade e qualidade socialmente desejáveis. Como resultado, identificou-se que a atividade não tem produzido um quadro de segurança alimentar que atenda às necessidades básicas nutricionais dos praticantes consumidores, os quais estão em situação de insegurança alimentar, e é utilizada, por grande parte da população na situação de segurança alimentar para fins de lazer e terapia.
The urbanization resulting from the Brazilian industrialization process, which occurred after the second part of the twentieth century, after the Second World War, influenced the infra-structural aspects of large centers, with a massive process of development of the production of consumer goods and the stimulation of industry and, consequently, the population growth of the urban network. After this period, and after the entry of successive stagnations and economic recessions, there were socioeconomic structural problems regarding health and social issues, causing, among other problems, food insecurity. It is in this aspect of food and nutritional security in urban centers that Urban Agriculture is addressed. The activity focuses on agricultural production within urban spaces, and is expected to promote, in addition to improving the environment and reorganization of idle and polluted urban spaces, food security with health benefits of practitioners. The present study consisted in analyzing the impact of Urban Agriculture on the Food Safety of consumers of the Urban and Periurban Agriculture (AUP) activity in the city of Maringá, State of Paraná, through the evaluation of food insecurity scales as well as statistical analysis descriptive and linear multiple regression. In addition, its members and food availability were characterized in a quantity and quality that was socially desirable. As a result, it was identified that the activity has not produced a food safety framework that meets the basic nutritional needs of the practicing consumers, which are food insecure, and is used by a large part of the population in the food security situation for leisure and therapy purposes.

Full textABSTRACT: It is inherent to the human being the unique and distinct way he interacts with the spaces or with a particular place. This is, by itself, essential for the development of each other. Both share the time. Both age, connected by cause / effect relations where both become - or at least should become- the reflection of each other. Together they tend to mold themselves as consequence of how humans use the space and its spatial response, whether in small public / private spaces or in large urban centers. Recognizing Lisbon as an heterogeneous urban space, consolidated as a whole but fragmented in detail, the present essay aims, at first, to develop a critical and intervening approach to the Rio Seco’s valley, a featureless and fragmented area of Lisbon. Secondary, it focuses on the Casalinho da Ajuda neighborhood case. While attempting to understand its intrinsic relationship between place, the community and its lifestyles, this thesis talks about the crucial influence and important impact that daily life activities should have on the design of new urban public spaces. Finally, the essay intend to praise and question how can architecture, and its physical representation by an architectural object, intervene on the design of new public spaces while shaping them into good transitions and interfaces between the urban and the natural spaces, providing the necessary support and environment for the correct development of certain communities lifestyles, promoting a cohesive way of living and finally, creating the means for a suitable social interaction.

Full textWith the modernization of agriculture, a consequence was the great rural exodus that occurred in Brazil and Latin America in the second half of the twentieth century. In this way the food began to travel greater distances, consequently increasing the prices, especially of the more perishable ones, like the vegetables. In this context, urban agriculture occupies empty urban spaces and produces fresh food close to consumer centers. The present work was carried out in the municipality of Piracicaba, where there is a great amount of urban gardens; also motivated the beginning of this work the existence of urban agroforestry yards and knowledge of the environmental benefits they bring to cities in general, based on the assumption that there are several environmental, social and economic benefits in urban agriculture and agroforestry. Thinking about the environmental issue, urban agroforestry yards may seem insignificant initially, by their own limited physical dimension; however, together they play a major environmental role, promoting infiltration of rainwater and improvements in the microclimate, as well as adding biodiversity to the urban ecosystem. Urban gardens have their environmental potential, however, the aesthetic, sanitary and food safety issues are more easily visualized, since they effectively increase the supply of fresh vegetables at affordable prices within cities, improving the population\'s nutrition. However, the issue of pesticides within the urban environment is a rather complex discussion, which must also be brought to the public policy level. The present work is based on the hypothesis that a public policy of sanitation favors a multifunctional agriculture within the city. This thesis is divided into chapters that constitute articles. The first chapter quantifies in the area the urban agroforestry quintals within the city, showing that 20% of the urban tree cover is contained in agroforestry yards. The second chapter analyzes data on the social class of permeable backyard keepers in households, showing that the middle class seems to be less likely to keep backyards permeable. The third brings a diagnosis of the urban gardens of Piracicaba, and the typification of the farmers, as subsidies for conversion to organic farming. The fourth chapter presents an analysis of a public policy linked to urban gardens in Piracicaba, showing its strengths and weaknesses, among the strengths are the employment of labor, the landscape effect, cleaning, aesthetics and sanitation and the production of fresh vegetables close to the consumer market, reducing energy costs with transport, and from the weaknesses the presence of agricultural pesticides in the urban area. In order to contemplate the multifunctionality of urban gardens, it is important to have local policies that contemplate the diversity of the ecological, economic and environmental aspects of urban agriculture and agroforestry.

Full textA agricultura urbana é caracterizada pelas múltiplas faces produtivas ligadas ao setor agrícola. Assim abrange o plantar e o colher de cereais, hortículas, plantas medicinais e frutíferas, bem como a criação de animais de pequeno e grande porte que servem tanto para o consumo familiar, para a venda a estabelecimentos comerciais ou diretamente nas residências no sistema chamado porta em porta . Através do entendimento das práticas agrícolas é possível relacionar outras categorias analíticas, que estão presentes e fazem parte do conceito da agricultura urbana, o que significa que se faz necessário a discussão sobre o conceito de campo, cidade, rural, urbano e agricultura enquanto ponto de partida para a análise das práticas socioespaciais. Com base neste contexto, o objetivo desse trabalho é analisar a manifestação de elementos característicos do rural no espaço urbano de Aracaju, mais especificamente na zona de expansão e nos bairros Bugio, Jardim Centenário e Santos Dumont, levando-se em consideração a prática da agricultura urbana e a presença de alguns elementos do modo de vida rural, desmistificando a dicotomia campo-cidade. O presente estudo fundamenta-se numa ampla pesquisa bibliográfica, a partir de obras que abordam questões teóricoconceituais para o tratamento dos fenômenos rurais e urbanos; na observação in loco, através de trabalhos de campo para levantamento de dados primários, documentação fotográfica, aplicação de questionários, coleta de dados secundárias oriundos da EMURB, INCRA, IBGE e SEPLAN. A análise da prática da atividade agrícola em Aracaju permite retomar a discussão campocidade a partir da perspectiva da totalidade e não da dicotômica rural-urbano, assim como possibilita o entendimento de que a atividade agrícola desenvolvida nessas áreas da cidade tem múltiplas dinâmicas e coexistem com outras formas de produção do espaço. Assim, a agricultura urbana praticada na cidade de Aracaju, pode ser entendida a partir da materialidade da produção do espaço, com suas múltiplas faces e significados.

The importance of Urban Agriculture (UA) has been increasingly recognized in recent years. It emerges as an important survival strategy, especially for the poorest population who can consume and sell the food produced. It also has other advantages such as occupation of empty spaces, maintenance of green areas and the producers' increase of their self-esteem. But the practice also has certain barriers that require care, as the misuse of pesticides, the possibility of food contamination by water or land, theft of crops and other risks. The municipality of Rio Claro (SP), the object of the present study, is an example of a city that has several types of UA initiatives, however there is still no specific legislation directed to the sector. Thus, we sought to conduct an analysis of these urban gardens in the city considering the optical output and public policies. The field research included observations and interviews, using semistructured questionnaire applied to farmers responsible for the gardens. From the analysis of the results it's noted that the gardens in Rio Claro are still few, occupying a small area. Despite the difficulties, the UA provided, in general, an improvement in the respondents' quality of life. Moreover, the practice of UA has great potential for expansion and could be better exploited in the city. Thus some actions are required by the municipality to encourage urban agriculture in the city, extending its benefits and reducing its drawbacks.
A importância da Agricultura Urbana (AU) vem sendo cada vez mais reconhecida nos últimos anos. Ela surge como uma importante estratégia de sobrevivência, principalmente para a população mais pobre que pode consumir e vender o alimento produzido. Além disso, possui outras vantagens como ocupação de espaços ociosos, manutenção de áreas verdes e aumento da autoestima dos produtores. Entretanto, a prática também tem certos entraves que exigem cuidados, como o uso indevido de agrotóxicos, possibilidade de contaminação dos alimentos através da água ou do solo, roubo dos cultivos, entre outros riscos. O município de Rio Claro (SP), objeto de estudo deste trabalho possui diversas iniciativas de AU. Contudo ainda não existe legislação específica voltada ao setor. Desta forma, buscou-se a realização de uma análise de hortas urbanas presentes no município, considerando as óticas da produção e as políticas públicas. A pesquisa de campo contemplou observações e entrevistas, utilizando questionário semiestruturado aplicado aos agricultores responsáveis pelas hortas. A partir da análise dos resultados, nota-se que as hortas existentes em Rio Claro são ainda de reduzido número, ocupando uma pequena área do município. Apesar das dificuldades, a AU proporcionou, de maneira geral, uma melhora na qualidade de vida dos entrevistados. Além disso, a prática da AU tem grande potencial de expansão e poderia ser melhor explorada no município. Desta forma, são necessárias algumas ações por parte da prefeitura a fim de incentivar a agricultura urbana na cidade, ampliando seus benefícios e reduzindo suas desvantagens.

Full textA vivência da cidade tem vindo a sofrer alterações, especialmente desde as décadas de 60 e 70, altura em que os fenómenos migratórios para os grandes centros urbanos provocaram o crescimento explosivo de uma periferia dispersa em torno das cidades. Esta conjuntura revelou-se propícia ao desenvolvimento da cidade informal que, desprezando a estrutura de crescimento da cidade, originou um processo de urbanização marginal nas periferias e o consequente crescimento da construção clandestina. É neste contexto que surgem as Áreas Urbanas de Génese Ilegal (AUGI). A par da atual preocupação no sentido de reabilitar estas áreas, o presente trabalho incide sobre o bairro do Casal Novo, em Odivelas, com o objetivo de aferir metodologias que visem a requalificação e revitalização deste núcleo através da criação de uma estrutura urbana capaz de dinamizar relações. A atual situação do bairro revela a carência de espaços públicos qualificados, bem como de equipamentos públicos potenciadores de coesão social. Nesse sentido, o equipamento coletivo proposto, alia atividades de lazer – agricultura urbana – a uma centralidade
ABSTRACT: The experience of the city has been undergoing some changes, especially since the 60's and 70's, when the migratory phenomena for large urban centers caused the explosive growth of scattered suburbs around cities. This situation proved to be conducive to the development of the informal city, which, ignoring the city's growth structure, originated a process of marginal urbanization in the peripheries and the consequent growth of illegal construction. It is in this context that the Urban Areas of Illegal Origin arise. Alongside the current concern to rehabilitate these areas, this thesis focuses on Bairro do Casal Novo, in Odivelas, with the purpose to assess methodologies that aim the rehabilitation and revitalization of this neighborhood by creating an urban structure capable of facilitating relationships. The current situation of the neighborhood reveals the lack of qualified public spaces, as well as public equipment enhancing social cohesion. In this sense, the proposed equipment, combines leisure activities - urban agriculture – with an identifiable centrality endowed of uses and functions necessary to the neighborhood - the market. Topics such as sustainability, education, economic and social cohesion are addressed, to provide these equipment with features adapted to the needs of today's society.

O Programa Global Cities Farming for the Future (CFF) (Cidades Cult ivando para o Futuro) teve como estratégia metodológica o Processo Mult iatoral de Planejamento Estratégico para Ação e Desenvolvimento de Polít icas em Agricultura Urbana - PMPEA, que buscou estimular processos locais participat ivos para a identif icação, planejamento e implementação de polít icas e ações estratégicas de agricultura urbana. A análise feita nesta tese focou esse Programa em Belo Horizonte e partiu da hipótese de que o PMPEA inaugurou uma polít ica de gestão participat iva possibilitando um papel at ivo e inovador dos atores da sociedade civil na sua relação com o poder público, e vice-versa. Para tanto, objetivou-se identif icar e caracterizar os atores envolvidos, identificar e analisar suas diferentes estratégias e relações, as relações de poder, os conflitos, o papel dos atores enquanto agentes, e as respectivas arenas com as relações de interface entre eles. Com isso, buscou-se entender as relações de redistribuição de poder e socialização de informações e conhecimentos como sinais de inovações em relação às práticas democráticas. O fundamento teórico para a análise foi a abordagem elaborada por Norman Long, que propõe um enfoque centrado no ator e nas relações de interface entre esses atores para analisar projetos de intervenção. Essa abordagem antropológica se somou à abordagem sociológica e histórica, em uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, que possibilitou entender a crítica sobre as formas de promover a participação e como foi se construindo o diálogo entre Estado e sociedade na implementação de projetos e programas sociais no Bras il. Para tanto, foram analisados documentos referentes ao Programa em Belo Horizonte, junto com a observação participante e a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com atores envolvidos com o Programa. Conclui-se que o principal potencial do PMPEA está na sua orientação de implementar junto, fomentando o envolvimento de atores da sociedade civil e do poder público. Assim, identif ica-se, como principal resultado para Belo Horizonte, a reaproximação desses atores em um exercício de cogestão na implementação do Programa e na manutenção de um nível de ação colet iva após o seu encerramento, baseada na elaboração do Plano de Ação de Agricultura Urbana para Belo Horizonte. Houve a sensibilização de novos atores para o tema da agricultura urbana, e destacam-se aqueles relacionados às políticas urbanas e aos movimentos de luta por moradia. Os processos participat ivos tiveram interferência direta dos atores com papel de mediadores do processo. A direção do processo foi consequência dos conflitos de interesses que foram negociados e produziram consensos na medida da necessidade de cada ator em gerar espaço para que seus projetos fossem viabilizados. Ficou evidente o poder dos técnicos enquanto representantes das instituições mediadoras e, assim, o PMPEA foi uma metodologia que intermediou relação de poder entre técnicos. A relevância desta tese está em contribuir com o entendimento sobre de quem é a realidade que conta em programas de intervenção local e sobre as potencialidades e limites para estreitar as relações entre poder público e sociedade civil em uma experiênc ia de coparticipação na elaboração e implementação de políticas.
The Global program Cities Farming for the Future (CFF) has had as a methodology strategy the Mult i-stakeholder Policy formulat ion and Action Planning on urban agriculture (MPAP) that has searched for stimulat ing local participative process to identifying, planning, and implementing the politics and strategies actions of urban agriculture. The study developed in this thesis has focused on the program that takes place in the city of Belo Horizonte and its original idea was from the hypothesis of that MPAP, by the creation of a politic for participat ive decision making that has made possible for the civil society actors to develop an active and innovator role in the relat ionship with the public administration. For all that, there was a prior objective to identify and discriminate those actors, as well as theirs strategies and relat ions, the power relations, the conflicts, the role of those actors while being agents, and the respective arenas with the interconnection among them. With all that, I have sought for understanding the relationships in the situation of dividing the power and socializing information and knowledge as signals of innovat ions towards the democratic practices. The theory basis to the analysis has considered the idea showed by Norman Long, who suggests an approach focused on the actor and on the relat ions of interconnection among them to analyze intervention projects. This anthropologic approach has joined the sociologic and historic approaches in an interdisciplinary perspective, and it has made possible to understand the critics about the ways to promote the participat ion, and also how the dialogue between the State and the Society has been built in the implementat ion of social projects in Brazil. To get into that, documents related to the Program in Belo Horizonte have been evaluated with the observat ion and the accomplishment of interviews organized with actors that have been involved into the Program. As a result, I believe that the great potential of MPAP is on its orientat ion of implementing and increasing the relat ionship between the actors of the civil society and the public administration. Therefore, it is identified as the main result for the city of Belo Horizonte, the junction of those actors in an exercise of managing together the implementation of the Program and also the maintenance of an action level in a cooperative way even after its end. And all that action is based on the creation of the Action Plan for Urban Agriculture in Belo Horizonte. There was a moving of new actors toward the theme of Urban Agriculture, and I want to emphasize those related to the urban polit ics and the activit ies of f ighting for housing. The actors have interfered directly in the participat ive processes playing an important role of mediat ing the process. The direction that the process took was a consequence of interests. conflicts that were negotiated and cameto a consensus considering the need of each actor in generating space for their projects to become possible. The power of the technicians while representing the intermediary inst itutions has been evident, and therefore, the MPAP has also been a methodology that has conciliated the power relations among the technicians. The relevance of this thesis is on increasing the understanding about whose is the reality considered in the local intervention programs and also about the potentialit ies and limits to narrow the relations between public administration and civil society in a mutual experience for the creation and implementation of politics.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: An ever changing urban environment, limited economic opportunities and rising poverty, have brought into sharp relief the need for strategies that support the livelihoods of the poor. Urban areas are complex and dynamic systems. No town or city is immune from either external forces (globalisation) that dictate the need to adapt, or to internal pressures (the natural growth pattern of an urban population and rural-urban migration) that collectively can precipitate growth or decline. The formal sector cannot, in most instances, fulfil the need for secure, regular employment in the urban areas, which leads to increases in unemployment, gradual breakdown of basic services - visual evidence includes large squatter settlements in and around urban centres - and the not unlikely increase in food insecurity. There is no doubt that the future of urban centres is dependent on the effective absorption of the increasing number of urban dwellers into its environmental, economical and social structures, and public policy plays an important role in the success of this process. The important contribution of urban agriculture in bolstering food security of urban households raises critical planning issues. The spatial integration of our settlements is critical; it holds the potential to enhance economic efficiency and social development. Spatial strategies should be combined with economic and environmental programmes to form an integrated approach towards development. Urban agriculture could possibly catalyse broader developmental processes such as local economic development, whereby disadvantaged communities could potentially secure the benefits of employment and increase food security. The provision of opportunities for urban agriculture not only makes it possible to meet the food needs of the urban poor, but to also ensure sustainable human settlements.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die lig van 'n dinamiese stedelike omgewing, beperkte ekonomiese geleenthede en toenemende armoede, beklemtoon die nood aan strategieë wat die arm stedelike gemeenskap bevoordeel. Stedelike gebiede is ingewikkelde en dinamiese sisteme. Geen dorp of stad is vrygeskeld van eksterne invloede (globalisasie), óf van interne invloede (die natuurlike groeipatroon in 'n stedelike gebied en migrasie van platteland na stede) wat kollektief groei of verval van stede kan aanhits. Die formele sektor kan in die meeste gevalle nie aan die behoefte van vaste werksaanstelling in stedelike gebiede voldoen nie. Dit lei tot 'n toename in werkloosheid en die geleidelike afbreek in fundamentele basiese dienste - ooglopende bewys hiervan sluit die groot plakkerskampe in en om stedelike sentrums - en die nie onwaarskynlike toename in voedseltekorte. Daar is geen twyfel dat die toekoms van stedelike sentrums afhanklik is van die absorpsie van toenemende stedelinge in hul omgewings-, ekonomiese- en sosiale strukture, en openbare beleid speel 'n kardinale rol in die suksesvolle verloop van hierdie proses. Die belang van die bydrae van stedelike landbou tot die rugsteuning van versekering van voedselsekuriteit in stedelike huishoudings kompliseer beplanning geweldig. Die ruimtelike integtrasie van ons nedersettings is belangrik; dit het die potensiaal om ekonomiese vaardigheid en sosiale ontwikkeling te verbeter. Strategieë om ruimte te optimaliseer behoort gekombineer te word met ekonomiese- en omgewingsprogramme, om sodoende geïntigreerde benaderings tot ontwikkeling te vorm. Stedelike landbou kan moontlik n katalisator vir verreikende ontwikkelingsprosesse soos plaaslike ekonomiese ontwikkeling wees, waar minder-bevoorregte gemeenskappe werksversekering en -geleenthede het en daar ook voedsel-sekuriteit is. Die voorsiening van geleenthede vir stedelike landbou maak dit nie net moontlik om die behoefte aan voedsel van minder-bevoorregte stedelinge te bevredig nie, maar verseker ook langdurige, volhoubare stedelike nedersettings.

This research includes the study of the Urban Agriculture theme for the production of commercial vegetables in the city of Jataí, located in the Southwest of the State of Goiás. The objective of this study is to identify the profile of urban farmers and to spatialize production areas in City. For this understanding, the research was developed through the following activities: bibliographical surveys, application of semi structured interviews with the farmers of the urban perimeter and field work, in order to verify the operation of this practice in the city. Based on the data collected, it was possible to find rural characteristics in the city of Jataí, which may be a reflection of the peasant who was expelled from the countryside and "took refuge" in the city, bringing with him characteristic customs of the rural area, urban space. In view of the paths traced by the research, it was identified that the profile of the urban farmer of Jataí is within the hypothesis of the work, since, through interviews and data collected, it was possible to verify that the same or, for the most part, are migrants from the rural environment and from other regions. Thus, they came to the city of Jataí in search of work, however, as in most cases such individuals do not have qualification, they aligned themselves with the activities that fit them, in this case urban agriculture. It was also verified that the greatest time of exercise of the activity is 19 years. It was also possible to verify two profiles of farmers, the first one with commercial purposes and who see in urban agriculture a lucrative business opportunity and the second presents an age group that stands out to 60 years or more, which reported the experiences of life in the middle rural and practice time of the activity in the city of Jataí, which reinforces the hypothesis of the research.
A pesquisa que se apresenta compreende o estudo da temática Agricultura Urbana voltada para a produção de hortaliças comerciais na cidade de Jataí, localizada no Sudoeste do Estado de Goiás. O estudo inclui como objetivo identificar o perfil dos agricultores urbanos e espacializar as áreas de produção na cidade. Para tal compreensão, a pesquisa foi desenvolvida mediante as seguintes atividades: levantamentos bibliográficos, aplicação de entrevistas semi estruturadas com os agricultores do perímetro urbano e trabalho de campo, a fim de verificar o funcionamento desta prática na referida cidade. Pelos dados coletados verificou-se que é possível encontrar na cidade de Jataí características rurais dentro do urbano, o que pode ser reflexo do camponês que foi expulso do campo e se “refug ou” na cidade, trazendo consigo costumes característicos do espaço rural, compondo a configuração do espaço urbano. Diante dos caminhos traçados pela pesquisa, identificou-se que o perfil do agricultor urbano de Jataí está dentro da hipótese do trabalho, uma vez que, por meio das entrevistas e dados coletados, foi possível verificar que os mesmos ou, a sua maior parte, são migrantes do ambiente rural e de outras regiões. Assim, vieram para a cidade de Jataí em busca de trabalho, porém, como na maioria os casos tais indivíduos não possuem qualificação, se alinharam às atividades que lhe cabiam, no caso a agricultura urbana. Constatou-se também que o maior tempo de exercício da atividade é de 19 anos. Também foi possível verificar dois perfis de agricultores, sendo o primeiro com finalidades comerciais e que vêem na agricultura urbana uma oportunidade de negócios lucrativos e o segundo apresenta faixa etária que se sobressai a 60 anos ou mais, os quais relataram as experiências de vida no meio rural e tempo de prática da atividade na cidade de Jataí, o que reforça a hipótese da pesquisa.

Full textFaced with the dominant vision of the city, the process of de-gricolization, defined as the process of disappearance of agricultural spaces, was considered an immutable consequence of the expansion of the city. Few studies have shown interest in this phenomenon, and even more so in the investigation of its causes in the affected sector: the agricultural sector. In the era of sustainable development, the interest in the conservation of agricultural areas close to the city is reflected in their environmental value, both by the desire to integrate nature into the city and by the need for quality food. Although the change of perspective has theoretically benefited agriculture, agricultural areas are still vulnerable to the city’s presence, mainly in heavily populated cities, as in the case of Zaragoza in Spain. Although urban pressure was once considered to be one of the dominant aspects of the disappearance of agricultural areas, water pressure and agricultural factors now appear as important aspects to be analysed in the idea of conservation of agricultural areas located near the city. In our study of the process of desegregation, the rural approach was favoured in order to know and understand, from the agricultural world, the factors that contributed to the disappearance of these areas. In other words, what endogenous factors contribute to the disappearance of agricultural areas in the city of Zaragoza? For this purpose, the study was carried out in two stages. First, the analysis of the agricultural areas of the city of Zaragoza, and then the study of two vulnerable agricultural areas close to the residential fabric: the agricultural areas of Huerva and Las Fuentes
Frente a la visión dominante de la ciudad, el proceso de desagricolización, definido como proceso de desaparición de los espacios agrícolas, era considerado como una consecuencia inmutable de la expansión de la ciudad. Pocos estudios revelaban un interés en dicho fenómeno, y más aún, en la búsqueda de sus causas desde el sector afectado: lo agrícola. A partir de la era del desarrollo sostenible, el interés por la conservación de las zonas agrícolas a proximidad de la ciudad se refleja por su valor ambiental, tanto por el deseo de integrar la naturaleza en la ciudad, como por la necesidad de tener una alimentación de calidad a partir de la producción local. Aunque el cambio de perspectiva beneficiaba teóricamente a la agricultura, los espacios agrícolas a proximidad de la ciudad seguían siendo vulnerables frente a la presencia de la ciudad, principalmente en las ciudades fuertemente pobladas, como en el caso de la ciudad de Zaragoza. Si bien la presión urbana era considerada antiguamente como un aspecto dominante en la desaparición de las zonas agrícolas, la presión hídrica y los factores propios a la agricultura se revelaban ahora como aspectos importantes en la idea de conservación de los espacios agrícolas a proximidad de la ciudad. En nuestro estudio del proceso de desagricolización, el enfoque rural ha sido privilegiado con el fin de conocer y comprender, desde mundo agrícola, los factores que participaban en la desaparición de dichas zonas. Es decir, ¿qué factores endógenos contribuyen a la desaparición de los espacios agrícolas de la ciudad de Zaragoza? Para ello, el estudio se ha realizado en dos tiempos. Primeramente, el análisis de las zonas agrícolas de la ciudad de Zaragoza, y posteriormente, el estudio de dos zonas agrícolas vulnerables próximas al tejido residencial: las zonas agrícolas del Huerva y de Las Fuentes

Full textThe oulmes mountain and its fringe have always been a pastoral region in the middle of the atlantic morocco. The social-economic transformations which happened during the xxth century were the beginning of important changes. Anbalance between population and ressources is the result of the shrinking of the productive space on one side, and demographic growth on the other. This unbalance is stressed by a social disparity due to the extention of private property and a misappropriation of the main sylvo-pastoral ressources by a stock-breeders minority. Therefore, communal principals which allowed an easy integration in collective life were broken up. Many cultivators found a solution with immigration or multi-activity. But this new balance were soon broken. Today, the region does not offer same opprotunities of non agricultural jobs any more, and towns are unable to absorb campaign misery. The administration support, with the project of the integrated development of the oulmes rommani area is a way to overstop the crisis of the agro-pastoral system. But prospective are doubtful for a majority of peasants

Colleges of agriculture across the country are challenged to produce more graduates in order to meet the increase in employment opportunities in the areas of agriculture, food, and renewable natural resources. To attract students from areas with the most growth, urban communities, this study identified factors such as exposures to agriculture, college factors, and career aspirations that influenced urban students to major in agriculture and enroll in the College of Agriculture at Kansas State University (KSU). The accessible sample consisted of 125 students currently majoring in the College of Agriculture (agriculture students) and 18 students no longer majoring in the College of Agriculture (non-agriculture students) who completed the online questionnaire. Students from both groups were predominately female, non-minority students from the state of Kansas who entered KSU as incoming freshmen. The majors most represented were animal sciences and industry, pre-veterinary medicine, and food science and industry. The mean ACT score for agriculture students was 26.23 and 24.81 for non-agriculture students. For both groups of students, having a relative who worked in a field related to agriculture (grandparents, parent/guardian, aunt and uncle) was influential when they chose their academic major. A higher percentage of agriculture students had a relative who worked in a field related to agriculture or in production agriculture, compared to non-agriculture students. Career opportunities for graduates, hands-on-learning opportunities, friendly atmosphere in the College of Agriculture, visit to campus, quality and reputation of college faculty, availability of academic programs, and affordability of KSU were college factors most influential among the sample of students. Least influential factors were interaction with alumni, agriculture related camps and competitive events on campus, and ability to take online courses. Agriculture students were more influenced by career aspirations specific to career interests, such as working with people and animals, being able to use their creativity, or work with their hands. Non-agriculture students were influenced by broader career aspirations, such as having a job they enjoyed or being able to advance in their career.
