Abstract

This work aims to catalog, map and analyze the spatial distribution of urban gardens in the municipality of Campo Grande (MS). The methodology used was qualitative and involved a bibliographic review on the proposed theme, documentary analysis and survey, cataloguing and mapping of urban gardens in Campo Grande (MS). The results indicate that the urban gardens of Campo Grande are spatially decentralized, practiced in peripheral spaces weakened by poverty, in line with the objectives of the Municipal Plan for Urban Agriculture. This is explained by the value of urban land and the greater ease of areas available for production, with the possibility of generating employment and income for the population, production of food of differentiated quality, through agroecological systems, environmental and human health valorization, community strengthening and recovery of knowledge about plants. Of the seven urban regions of Campo Grande, six have vegetable gardens. Among the neighborhoods, São Conrrado, Los Angeles, Mata do Segredo and Chácara dos Poderes.
