SUMMARY:

Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture (UPA) has been considered an important strategy for food security and the construction of environmental sustainability in cities. With the growing urbanization and the consequent expansion of built areas, urban productive backyards are seen as a possibility for access to healthy, safe, and high-quality food, where a significant part of the family's food memory is preserved. Along with the remaining green spaces, these areas are also recognized as potential generators of a wide variety of ecosystem services, especially during the period of climate extremes we are experiencing, contributing to the reduction of heat islands, increased water infiltration, reduced runoff and flooding, and to biodiversity.

This project aims to assess the contribution of UPA backyards in Baixada Fluminense to the conservation of food heritage and to the services of infiltration, thermal comfort, and conservation of native bee biodiversity. For the evaluation of soil drainage capacity, penetration resistance at various depths will be used as an indicator, measured through a penetrometer. Temperature will be monitored using micro weather stations and through interviews with the owners of the assessed areas. The biodiversity of bees will be determined using pan traps and observations followed by active collection with a vacuum device.
