Not everything is concrete: ethnobotany of agroecological community food gardens of ABC Paulista
From the consideration of knowledge about agrobiodiversity as a material heritage, related to the maintenance of species and varieties, and as an intangible heritage, related to the preservation of ethnobotanical knowledge, biocultural memory and food sovereignty, the objective of this research was to investigate four agroecological community food gardens of the ABC Paulista as communities of environmental education and scientific dissemination of this knowledge in this territory, using the methodologies of ethnobotanical research. As a result, 24 species were identified by scientific binomial and another 36 by local name, and the biocultural and ethnoscientific memories related to them were recorded, as well as the environmental education practices proposed by these spaces for the dissemination of this knowledge. We conclude that the intention of multiplying these species and disseminating this knowledge is transmitted within the families and communities involved in the cultivation and management of spaces, but also from urban food garden to urban food garden, evidencing the character of agroecology as a popular, cultural, ecological and scientific movement, with the potential to intervene in the process of re-signification of the relationship between human beings and the environment in urban territories.
