CUERVO, Maria Rita Macedo; HAMANN, Cristiano  and  PIZZINATO, Adolfo. Psychosocial Dimensions and Political Possibilities for Action in Trade in Agroecological Fairs. Rev. Subj. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.2, pp.1-13. ISSN 2359-0769.  https://doi.org/10.5020/23590777.rs.v20i2.e9304.

This study, the result of an ethnographic approach, analyzes psychosocial aspects and political possibilities of agency and negotiation in the functioning of an agroecological fair. In addition to participant observation, nineteen interviews were conducted with producers and consumers that allowed the construction of a network of recurring themes and discursive crossings on the relationships established in the daily life of this form of food trade. The research process made it possible to analyze the relations at the fair from two central dimensions: community and management. These aspects were shown to be linked to environmentalist discourses and forms of resistance to the majority economy and industrialized food practices, tending to ways of elitism consumption and idealizing the rural.

Keywords : eating practices; food culture; agroecological fair; rurality.
