Abstract

Urban expantion over the area destinated to water resources protection is a critical dilema to the growth o São Paulo’s Metropolitan Region. One of the most important forms of land use there is the agricultural use, developed along the history of the metropolis’ constitution, and destinated to the urban suplly. After a period of economic decay, the possibility of creating new public policies for the “green belt’s” development has been currenlty considered in many studies, all of them aiming to hold this urban expansion process. This research understands the debate around “urban agriculture” as an ideology which sustains the process of integration and subordination of family work to the capital’s amplified reproduction logic, as a deepening of labor division between town and country.
