Resumen
The hegemonic model of agrarian culture exported to the world through the assumptions of
the Green Revolution solidified values and practices, which conducted a biological and
sociocultural devastation of millenarian traditions of food cultivation. One of the possibilities
of opposition to this paradigm arises in sustainable alternative systems, such as organic food
production, which establishes socio-cultural, economic and environmental sustainability. This
research of quali-quantitative and exploratory inclination aims to explore the perception
regarding organic food by its producers and consumers in specialized fairs. As
epistemological and theoretical-methodological presuppositions, I used the Systemic
Perspective and the Barker Ecological Approach, respectively. I conducted a naturalistic
observation in three fairs specialized in organic sales in 101 days of data harvesting. The
investigation comprised two stages, with verbal and nonverbal aspects related to the sale and
consumption of organic products. Were interviewed 04 producers and 04 consumers, and 657
people were observed. The research tools included place-centered behavioral mapping and
context-based analysis with inspiration in behavior setting theory. The methodological
convergence was established within an organization of thematic analysis with an
interpretative basis, integrating the findings through observed behaviors, the internal logics to
the spoken behaviors and the relations constructed throughout the investigative process. The
analytical process demonstrated that the choice of organic involved cognitive and affective
understandings permeated by motivational aspects related to biological health, philosophicalreligious aspects and ethical-environmental aspects of the people involved. Understandings
about this phenomenon in food may contribute to the induction of knowledge in the area of
human-environment relations, adding an interdisciplinary comprehension on the issue.
