Por uma cadeia produtiva sustentável de plantas ornamentais na cidade de São Paulo - 14ᵃ Bienal Internacional de Arquitetura de São Paulo

Urban and Peri-urban Agriculture is one of the strategies to curb the advance of urban sprawl, as an economic activity compatible with nature. In this context, the ornamental crop production chain is highly relevant in the Southern Rural Zone of São Paulo, both territorially and economically. Therefore, the Sampa+Rural Program has been conducting innovative, focused work to support the agroecological transition of these crops, providing technical assistance and rural extension, in a pilot project involving 20 farmers. This involves the adoption of conservation practices, intensified biological treatments through the use of solid and liquid bioinputs, consistent soil coverage, and, most importantly, the elimination of herbicides and/or other practices that impair soil permeability.

We invite landscaping professionals to contribute to a greener and more sustainable city, alongside rural producers and public officials from the São Paulo City Hall (SMDET and SVMA). We want to understand the purchasing needs of this market and the possibilities for support on this path to sustainability, such as the inclusion of native species and the encouragement of local and sustainable production. The activity seeks to encourage dialogue between these stakeholders, aiming to build awareness and market maturity regarding the importance of agroecological production in the municipality, so that these initiatives can be valued and enhanced. It also brings to the debate the issue of native species, which are researched and cultivated by SVMA at the Manequinho Lopes Nursery, and which could be produced in agricultural areas, generating ecosystem benefits for the city. We understand that the more space this type of production gains, the greater the potential for other conventional producers to embrace the move toward a healthier city for all forms of life. As part of the 14th International Architecture Biennial, we propose this meeting to establish connections in the construction of sustainable management appropriate for the region, which can collaborate and impact the entire city environmentally and economically.

NOTE OF CONDOLENCE

With deep sorrow, the Brazilian Institute of Architects – São Paulo Department (IABsp) mourns the passing of architect and landscape architect Kongjian Yu, a global leader in ecological urbanism, and the members of his team who accompanied him, tragically killed during the filming of a documentary. The institute is honored to have had him as a participant in the 14th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial, where his transformative vision strengthened the dialogue between global challenges and local realities. IABsp emphasizes that Yu's contribution, which transcends borders, will remain an inspiration for generations and expresses its condolences to China, to the families of all the deceased, to his friends, and to all those impacted by his genius and dedication.
