Territorialization of agroecology in short marketing circuits: Case study of the Comuna da Terra Irmã Alberta, in the municipality of São Paulo/SP
In the current disputes for overcoming the hegemonic food system, a powerful source for building and sustaining a transforming paradigm is agroecology. The ability to scale up agroecological
experiments has been increasingly present in debates on the subject.
Thus, in this research, we seek to investigate how this process of increasing the scale of agroecology, interpreted as a process of territorialization, is affected by the insertion in short circuits of food marketing. The territory that serves as a case study for the research object is the Comuna da Terra Irmã Alberta, a rural camp located in the northwest zone of the city of São Paulo/SP.
