Urban Farm DB summary
This study conducted a descriptive analysis of the legal framework for urban and peri-urban agriculture (AUP) in the Municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at municipal, state, and federal levels. It found that while agricultural regulation in Brazil is primarily rural-focused, AUP can be integrated into development plans, sustainable strategies, and food security initiatives, despite lacking specific dedicated legislation.
