摘要:The present article sought to portray the work done by the Cores da Terra Cooperative, certified by Organic Certification Brazil, and located in the city of Cascavel, west of Paraná. The work was carried out from the case study, analyzing the strategic scenario of the cooperative according to the concepts of the SWOT tool. The cooperative produces and sells its organic products through family agriculture. In this context, the agricultural activity, based on cooperativism, is different from the others, for its solidary, organizational, economic, collective, collaborative character, and based on rural sustainability. At the same time, organic and agroecological production has become a strategic ally when it comes to quality of life, providing consumers, as well as producers, with a healthier life, with less agrochemicals. The research concluded that this experience of solidarity economy and agroecology forms new agroecological market designs, with socio-environmental awareness, while seeking an ethical relationship between producers and consumers, with the construction of a fair market and the promotion of food and nutritional security.
