Agroecological Fair at the Federal University of Tocantins

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to expose the results of extension and research actions from the
creation of the Nucleus of Studies in Agroecology at the Federal University of Tocantins. The
project aim to implement agroecological practices and consists in different actions articulated
in partnership with family farmers that resulted in the implementation of an agroecological fair.
It is observed as result of this action that organic-based producers have achieved good results
with their effective participation in the fair. In addition to the marketing of products, the fair is
an important space for raising awareness about sustainable production and consumption. Currently
the fair occurs weekly, aggregating and bringing together producers and the academic
community, consolidating as a space for exchanges and learning.
