# Fundo FUA ## Basic Info **Name:** Urban-Agroecological Fund (Fundo Urbano-Agroecológico, or Fundo FUA) **What is it:** It was created in 2021 by the Association for Community Ownership (Associação pela Propriedade Comunitária, APC), the same organization behind [[Fundo FICA]]. While Fundo FICA focuses on acquiring urban properties to provide affordable, non-speculative housing, Fundo FUA extends the same principles to rural areas, acquiring farmland for sustainable agriculture, agroecology, and conservation purposes. FUA supports technical assistance for farmers and aims to strengthen local food systems and rural economies. It operates similarly to land trust models, focusing on long-term land stewardship rather than market resale. **Who is involved:** Simone Gatti, Renato Cymbalista e Emil Lewinger (Board) **Location:** Parelheiros, São Paulo **Link:** https://www.fundoagroecologico.org/ --- ## Entries XX
