Abstract
Since the late 1980s, the municipality of Teresina, located in the state of Piaui in Brazil’s semi-arid Northeast, has supported urban and peri-urban farming through its Municipal Community Gardens Programme. Facing threats ranging from climate change and inequality to the occupation of their land for housing construction, gardeners are defending their lands. The experience of the Piçarreira garden demonstrates how acting quickly and collectively can make the difference between losing and preserving a space.
