Abstract:

Urban agriculture can help to promote important indicators, such as improving environmental health and food security and reducing social inequality. In this sense, the present work aimed to help in understanding the current situation of urban agriculture in the city of Rio de Janeiro, focusing on the Programa Hortas Cariocas (PHC). To this end, two approaches were carried out. A qualitative one, where the descriptive exploratory method was applied to recognize and analyze the impacts caused by the program on the communities involved. And another quantitative, through data envelopment analysis (DEA), to assess and understand the program's productive performance, between 2007 and 2019. The program's performance showed two peaks, in 2012 with 80.21% and in 2016 with 100.00% productive performance score. The behavior of the annual performance scores could be explained by the increases in the number of people directly involved (number of garden plots) and in the occupied area (number of flowerbeds), as they reflect the socio-environmental character of the PHC.
