O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar um panorama das discussões da ecologia política urbana e da agricultura urbana. A metodologia utilizada baseou-se na revisão bibliográfica, selecionada através do metabuscador Portal Águia (USP), de obras que abordem a ecologia política urbana e a agricultura urbana, além de comparar a literatura específica da ecologia política e caminhos para inserção na agricultura urbana. Por meio disto, evidencia-se a necessidade de aproximação ainda maior das análises destas na literatura acadêmica latino-americana, dada a escassez de estudos neste sentido na região. Dessa forma, discute-se a complexidade das relações políticas e socioambientais por trás da prática da agricultura urbana, evidenciando a contribuição de sua associação ao campo da ecologia política.

The objective of this work is to study how urban agriculture can be a transformer instrument of everyday life in the way to think and build a post-capitalist world and, at the same time, to study the implementation of the Hortas e Viveiros da Comunidade's program, under the impact of the State (municipal government) in urban agriculture in São Paulo. Therefore, we started with the implementation of the Hortas e Viveiros da Comunidade's program, and the experiences of seven projects attended, for analyze, in practice, how was the implementation of the program, the role of public workers of the front line and the impact on urban agriculture in São Paulo. As a result, it appears that the presence of the State in urban agriculture becomes essential, even in autonomous practice that emerges from communities. Furthermore, we found a close relationship between agriculture and the everyday life transformation of the modern-capitalist mentality and the urban space, as well as the expression of the urban peasantry of the subjects. As a method, we seek to take the marginal (including in this perspective both looking at peripheral areas and the "unseen" within the projects) as central, which consists of three steps: 1) descriptive of social relations; 2) analytical-reflective, revealing the historical times of social relations; and 3) historical-generic, in which the researcher returns to the present, observing that social contradictions are historical and intrinsic to the capitalist system. As methodology, in addition to the bibliographic review of books, articles, and reports from renowned organizations, we conducted interviews with the employees of the Municipal Secretariat for Economic and Labor Development (SMDET), responsible for the municipal program, and with the subjects of urban agriculture projects. From the experiences studied, we could see that urban agriculture has been fundamental for the subjects that integrate it as a way of rethinking their urban imaginary and discussing another possible world. Furthermore, we could analyze how, in urban agriculture, different historical times exist and meet, with traditional (non-modern) time being produced and reproduced even within modern-capitalist time, through peasantry and the construction of spaces around another space-time relationship. It focused on these relationships and on the essential role of the Martins' (2010) "common man" that we that we analyze the role of urban agriculture both as a symptom of the incompleteness of the moderncapitalist way of life and as a sign that social transformations happen also in everyday life.
