Description: 699/5000 Non-profit association that promotes access to organic products in a transparent and sustainable way: without pesticides and without speculation. Its proposal is to establish fair commercial relations with all actors in the production chain, connecting those who produce to those who consume. Located in the center of São Paulo, you will find a fair, a grocery store and a café, with only organic and agroecological products. It is through the trade of products from the countryside and the solidarity economy that the Feira Livre Institute puts into practice its ideals of freedom and democracy. In addition to solidarity and agroecology, its space also hosts and supports activities related to education, culture and politics.

Why I love this solution: I love Feira Livre because it empowers small agricultural producers and brings good quality fresh pesticide-free vegetables to the center of the city, while also fostering political engagement and green practices.
