Abstract

The consumption of healthy foods is essential for nutrition and quality of human life. Thus, family farming is responsible for the production of organic food, since the people who inhabit urban centers depend on this sustainable production. In addition, the spatial clipping of the research is situated on the backcountry surface, in the semi-arid northeast. The community of São Domingos, is located 25 km from the municipality of Sobral- Ceará. The aim of the study is to characterize the agroecological systems of consumption and production (PAIS and Mandala) and to present their multiple uses, and commercial flows in the sale of cultivated products. It is concluded that agroecological systems are a source of income that fosters the local economy and helps in the healthy diet of people who consume the cultivated fruits.
