Abstract

The Community that Sustains Agriculture – Comunidade que Sustenta a Agricultura (CSA) – is an associative organization for the production and consumption of healthy food products, based on fair market, sustainability, and socio-environmental justice. In this paper, we focus on the pedagogical dimension of that experience, an aspect that has not been analyzed deeply in the literature on the matter. Drawing on narratives and field notes produced in the ambitus of two CSA of Brasília city (Doce Vida e Fazenda Bella), we seek to show how those initiatives constitute “learning communities” and use “ecological-decolonial pedagogies in–network.” In those CSA, we perceive the existence of local production and circulation of food products alternatives, solidary relations among producers and consumers, communal nourishment practices and knowledge, and reciprocity among cultures and natures.
