RESUMO:

In the present study the characterization and description of the ALUMIAR Fair was done, organized by the Agroecological and Family Agriculture Association of Lumiar and Arredores, which takes place every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the district of Lumiar in Nova Friburgo-RJ. A survey of the activities carried out by Alumiar was carried out; was characterized and the structure and functioning of the Fair; the socioeconomic profile of the markets and consumers was investigated. The descriptive research was developed from a bibliographical and documentary survey, semi-structured interviews and self-administered questionnaires were used. The potentialities and bottlenecks of the Alumiar Fair were identified. Fair has 12 stalls, occupied by 23 fairgrounds. Products marketed were agruped into four marketing categories: agriculture, healthy food, handicrafts, and wellness and health. In the agriculture category, production systems are converting to organic agriculture with agroecology principles, but food is not yet certified as organic. The ALUMIAR Fair was consolidated in the community as a space of consumption of regional products, with quality - fresh products - and great variety. In addition, it is a space that strengthens the associativism, values the local culture and provides the exchange of knowledge through workshops, joint efforts and in the direct relationship between marketers and consumers. The Fair is managed on the basis of well-defined principles, and this can be justified by the high level of schooling of the majority of the fairgrounds, who have urban origin. However, there was a need for more debate and dialogue among the members, and the participation of all the ALUMIAR Association's participants was fundamental. The survey results showed that improvements are needed in the structure of the fair, especially regarding the cleaning and infrastructure of tents and bathrooms, however the location is considered adequate by more than 75% of the interviewees. Regarding the profile of consumers, the Fair welcomes both local residents and tourists, and there is a demand for an increase in the variety of products and services. It was found that there is a trust between consumers and consumers, but organic certification of products is important for 77% of consumers interviewed. The author of this research, together with the coordination of ALUMIAR, has built the Internal Regulations of the Fair, contributing with the best organization, mainly regarding compliance with schedules, financial contribution, and selection of new marketers. It is concluded that the Alumiar Fair plays an important role in the community as a collective space for the construction and valorisation of agroecology in Nova Fribugo.
