Abstract
Agricultura urbana, por englobar diversas atividades relacionadas à produção de alimentos e pela importante contribuição socioeconômica, passou a protagonizar a discussão acerca do tema segurança alimentar. Este trabalho objetivou analisar hortas urbanas empreendedoras integrantes do projeto desenvolvido pela Prefeitura na cidade de Palmas – TO. Pretendeu-se compreender o processo de implantação e manutenção destas hortas, as dificuldades administrativas, distribuição e as representações socioeconômicas das famílias envolvidas. A metodologia exploratória aplicada ao estudo implicou o levantamento e análise do perfil e práticas dos horticultores integrantes do projeto. Como resultado se observou que as hortas urbanas são ferramentas de desenvolvimento comunitário, geradoras de benefícios socioeconômicos, de erradicação da pobreza e contribuem para a segurança alimentar. Pode-se concluir que as hortas urbanas empreendedoras promovem a inclusão social das famílias envolvidas, principalmente em relação aos grupos de pessoas de baixa renda, sendo assim, auxilia no desenvolvimento local, na geração de renda complementar, e no resgate cultural da produção de alimentos para o consumo próprio.
