This essay aims to reflect on the relationship between urban farming practices and the “care of life” observed in a university extension project mobilized between groups of residents of the “Aglomerado da Serra” (Sierra cluster of communities) in Belo Horizonte MG and members of “Grupo Aroeira”, over six years (2008-2013). The essay points to agroecology as a key theory-praxis in this process and reports the methodological options, according to the precepts of the educator Paulo Freire and the sociologist Boaventura Souza and Santos, for dialectic action between the community and the university. Based on the concept of research-action, an essential key in the process of research and extension, this project was structured through the following main activities: survey of urban agriculture initiatives in the community; establishment of the Cycle of Cultivating Health Meetings; formation of the Santana Medicinal Plant Group; creation of the literacy class “Café Crioulo” (Creole coffee); and the organizing of free fairs with products of the urban agrobiodiversity of the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte. Grupo Semear, Instituto Paulo Freire through the project MOVA-Brasil, Fundo Nacional de Solidariedade-FNS Cáritas Brasileira are some of the partners cited that helped make it possible to articulate the themes of agroecology, sovereignty and food and nutrition security, popular education and solidarity popular economy in a project seeking to promote and cultivate the “care of life” of the inhabitants of the “Aglomerado da Serra”, valuing their traditional know-how while bringing such experience to the university through the practice of reverse university extension.
