This basic agriculture has expanded nationally in recent decades aiming at a quality of life for humanity. And these products cultivated through agroecology, arise mostly from peasant agriculture in settlements as a way of subsistence of the same, that besides the historical expropriation of the land they find difficulties in the commercialization of these products, by the scarcity of water, technical assistance and also by part the neglect of public authorities and others. Even with these challenges to overcome the agroecological base presents the possibility of expansion in the city of Aparecida, since the fair is held, as well as the agroecological fair of the municipality, the second quoted has a variety of vegetables and fruits without the use of pesticides in addition to a variety of cakes, sweets, tapiocas among others of natural base in benches in the city, even being paralyzed at the end of 2012, there was its return in the year 2016, attracting new buyers and encouraging as a good initiative for the old buyers with an improved agricultural product. The search for these products is carried out by the districts of the municipality, where the demand for these foods commercialized with high nutritional and commercial quality aims to be comprehensive in other cities, already in the fair the farmers of the settlement previously mentioned, also participated in this commercial expansion and sometimes installed in the cities of São Francisco, São José de Lagoa Tapada, Sousa and Cajazeiras. In the city of Aparecida, this free market was held on Sundays when the peasants stayed on makeshift stands, and the planting of these products was carried out in the Acauã settlement and by merchants from other cities. So even with the difficulties encountered these peasants resist adversities and create means of commercialization and subsistence, through agroecology, using the proper and conscious management of the land.
