Viveiro-Escola União

The Viveiro-Escola União is a community-based initiative located in Vila Nova, near São Miguel Paulista in São Paulo, Brazil. It serves as a living classroom where local residents and community leaders engage in hands-on learning about sustainable agriculture, permaculture, and agroecology. By combining environmental education with seedling production, the project fosters a deeper connection between people and nature. The nursery empowers participants to cultivate native plants, care for the soil, and implement ecological principles in their daily lives.

Focused on promoting environmental awareness and regenerative practices, the Viveiro-Escola União plays a key role in advancing urban agroecology. Its activities—such as creating gardens, producing seedlings, and teaching about composting and water conservation—help build resilient communities and greener cities. More than just an educational space, the project acts as a catalyst for social transformation, demonstrating how agroecology can be a tool for environmental justice, food sovereignty, and sustainable urban development.
