Urban agriculture (UA) is not a new practice, but a new field of research for the Administration, an area in which studies on the subject are practically nonexistent. Over the centuries, it was developed close to families or close to them in their homes. However, due to the influence of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th, 19th and mainly 20th centuries, modern agriculture arises, a time when a process of shifting production out of large cities begins. Such a process is intensified from the mid-20th century, a period when the Green Revolution is imposed, an event also known as the Second Agriculture Revolution (post-World War II). Despite this scenario, the cultivation of food plants in the urban context has not ceased to exist. Furthermore, the perspectives on the subject go beyond the issue of food production and consumption itself, reaching situations related to food security, people’s health and well-being, engagement, social resilience and community life. Thus, we conducted this research in order to understand how agricultural initiatives in an urban context are organized and managed. The methodology used consisted of a qualitative multi-case comparative study. We aim to characterize the agriculture carried out by four organizations located in the city of Curitiba, understand their modes of organization and make comparisons. The organizations chosen were Assistida, Vernacular, Autônoma and Politizada (fictitious names). The present study found in relation to the Assistida that the intervention of the government was moved towards rationalizing, bureaucratizing and excessively formalizing actions that in essence are coated with simplicity. As for Vernacular, we found that the conviviality, the common origins of the members, the affection and informality of the activity make the family maintain the tradition of planting. The Autônoma and Politizada Organizations were close in actions and purposes with regard to the ways of organizing agriculture, the former having stabilized its actions based on the constitution of a solid community life, while the latter, the most innovative, has given signs of weakness precisely because of the lack of engagement of its members. The results of the analyzes suggested that the conventional administrative technique (represented by the local government) applied to the agriculture constituted a disaggregating factor of autonomy and coexistence, insofar as it became clear to incidence of conflicts and mainly the lack of recognition of coexistence spaces. Although there is coexistence in the way of Assistida UA to organize its agriculture, it tends to be attacked by technical formalization. |
