Resumo(s)
Mais da metade da população mundial vive em cidades. O impacto do
abastecimento alimentar urbano causa externalidades negativas relacionadas
com os processos de produção, transformação, armazenamento e transporte de
alimentos, razão pela qual a FAO e vários governos procuram promover modelos
de consumo local sustentável. A agricultura urbana é uma ferramenta para
implementar modelos de abastecimento local que complementam os modelos de
abastecimento mais clássicos. Ter uma compreensão mais profunda de alguns
aspectos da agricultura urbana, tais como as motivações para aderir a estas
atividades, pode ser útil no planeamento de estratégias de desenvolvimento
comunitário baseadas nas hortas urbanas. No contexto de Lisboa, a agricultura
urbana é historicamente muito presente e importante. Diferentes formas de
agricultura urbana estão presentes na capital portuguesa, o que a torna um
universo parcialmente representativo das várias formas que esta atividade pode
assumir. Esta dissertação procura apresentar uma análise do impacto que a
agricultura urbana tem na vida de pessoas em condição de vulnerabilidade, tanto
do ponto de vista simbólico-emocional quanto material. Os dados foram
recolhidos através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas realizadas numa horta
urbana, o Parque Agrícola da Alta de Lisboa. Os dados mostram que a
agricultura urbana é uma atividade multifuncional que, para além de produzir
alimentos, pode mudar a paisagem, contribuir para a gestão sustentável dos
recursos, conservar a biodiversidade e promover a vitalidade económica e social
das áreas em que opera. As pessoas entrevistadas relataram os benefícios da
agricultura urbana na melhoria da qualidade das suas vidas, a nível material,
emocional, relacional, social e ambiental, envolvendo também as várias
dimensões da saúde.
More than half of the world's population lives in cities. The impact of urban food supply causes negative externalities related to the processes of producing, processing, storing and transporting food, which is why the FAO and various governments are seeking to promote sustainable local consumption models. Urban agriculture is a tool for implementing local supply models that complement more classic supply models. Having a deeper understanding of some aspects of urban agriculture, such as the motivations for engaging in these activities, can be useful in planning community development strategies based on urban gardens. In the context of Lisbon, urban agriculture is historically very present and important. Different forms of urban agriculture are present in the Portuguese capital, which makes it a partially representative universe of the various forms this activity can take. This dissertation seeks to analyse the impact that urban agriculture has on the lives of people in vulnerable conditions, from both a symbolic-emotional and material point of view. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews carried out in an urban garden, the Parque Agrícola da Alta de Lisboa. The data shows that urban agriculture is a multifunctional activity which, as well as producing food, can change the landscape, contribute to sustainable resource management, conserve biodiversity and promote the economic and social vitality of the areas in which it operates. The people interviewed reported the benefits of urban agriculture in improving the quality of their lives, materially, emotionally, relationally, socially and environmentally, also involving the different dimensions of health.
