SUMMARY:

The concentration of the population in cities, resulting from industrialization processes, had as its main consequence the rural exodus, which expelled small farmers from the countryside to make way for large monoculture productions, necessary for a production model now integrated into agro-industrial complexes. These changes in the mode of production and reproduction of space led to intense urbanization to meet industrial needs, the homogenization of food systems and the reorganization of eating practices, now shaped according to the needs of proletarian work. Thus, if previously families produced food for self-consumption and the market focused more on exchange relationships or proximity marketing, today more and more families consume food produced by industry, with the consumption of ultra-processed products being the factor that favors scenarios of malnutrition and hunger intensify the levels of chronic diseases in needy populations, also contributing to the loss of traditional eating habits. As a way of contributing to the reduction of food insecurity and the negative environmental impacts that a significant portion of the urban population encounters, there is the potential to rescue agricultural practices, now in urban spaces, challenging the imagination that agriculture is only in rural areas and on a large scale. This study aims to analyze the urban agriculture initiative, through the Hortas Orgânicas em Faixas de Dutos project, based on its contribution to food sovereignty and nutritional security of the population participating in the project, located in the territory of Geneciano, located in Nova Iguaçu and also the territories of Pilar and Parque Marilândia, located in Duque de Caxias, based on the monitoring and study of the installation processes of urban vegetable gardens in the so-called “productive backyards”, in the homes of the families involved in the project in question, located in Baixada Fluminense, aiming to analyze the importance of urban agriculture.
