Multifunctionality of urban community agriculture in Belo Horizonte, Brazil practice and politics : practice and politics por Olsson, Sofie

“…This thesis analyses how urban farmers themselves view the benefits of urban community gardens on individual, neighbourhood, and city scales, how these perceptions are represented in the political framing of UA, and how they can highlight potential to advance the UA agenda. The empirical data derives from a qualitative case study of urban community gardens in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, where observations and semi-structured interviews were carried out with urban farmers, municipal authorities, and researchers. …”

Agro-silvo-pastoralism por Paparella, Antonio, Petsakos, Athanasios, Davis, Kristin E., Song, Chun

“…In recent years, the interest in agro-silvo-pastoralism has been renewed because of its potential to sustain rural farming in marginal areas and to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change [6]. In Brazil, for example, areas under agro-silvo-pastoralism amount to 17 million hectares, with a potential to reach three times that number.…”
