Agricultura Urbana y Periurbana Agroecológica: conexiones entre experiencias del Semiárido Brasileiro y el AMBA/Argentina

Urban and Peri-urban Agriculture - AUP has been presented as an important initiative to promote food and nutritional security in conjunction with the sustainable development of cities. In this way, the present work aims to discuss the AUP in the territories of the Sertao do Sao Francisco Pernambucano / Baiano (Brazil) and in the south of the metropolitan region of Buenos Aires - AMBA (Argentina) in order to understand the dynamics of this agricultural practice and enhance the development processes of sustainable agri-food and productive systems in cities. The experience is based on the methodological orientation of action research in which researchers, farmers and extension workers are social actors who interact, promote processes and actions in local dynamics. The analysis carried out based on intervention processes that took place throughout 2017 and december 2019 shows different contributions to the territorial processes for promoting AUP Agroecology and Security among farmers, consumers, communities, students, extension professionals and managers of actions and public policies that interact with these themes in the Sertao do Sao Francisco, Brazilian Semiarid and AMBA.
