Chácara Bindu: agroecology, productive conservation, education and health

Abstract

The socio-environmental crisis is increasingly present in urban and rural reality. Neorural agroecological innovation can transform the productive paradigm prevalent in the countryside and cities and propose new forms of relationship between people. In addition, it can contribute to the development of food systems that promote socio-environmental justice, sovereignty and food and nutritional security, with the creation of healthy and sustainable territories. The purpose of this experience report was to present the agroecological community of the Bindu farm, which develops social technologies in the areas of agriculture, education and health in the Federal District. The experience report was developed in seven items related to the creation process of the socio-agricultural organism and to the principles of agroecology, productive conservation, education and health, which constituted the management of the Bindu farm. It is concluded that the bond formed based on trust and cooperation guaranteed the expansion of the model of a Community that Supports Agriculture and the continuity of deliveries of products without synthetic inputs and without pesticides, favoring the access of families to healthy food and ties of confidence in a context of social isolation imposed by the Covid-19 epidemic.
