This project is developed within a PhD scholarship with the funding reference UI/BD/154512/2022.
The proposed work entails a qualitative exploratory in-depth case study with two main objectives: to explain how urban agriculture in Teresina challenges, underlies and/or reproduces neoliberal global food systems rationalities, and to explore how regenerative urban farming can build food sovereignty in vulnerable communities in Teresina. To achieve these objectives, the research employs a combination of secondary and primary data collection methods and ethnographic methodological approaches. This research is highly relevant in the context of the worsening global climate crisis as it seeks local alternatives to the globalized practice of conventional agriculture, which has extensive negative social, economic, and environmental externalities.
Keywords: food systems; urban agriculture; climate crisis; food sovereignty; urban resilience.
