The countryside is present in people's lives!
Last Saturday saw the first edition of the Family Farming Fair, an event that has already had a positive impact on the region by aiming to value those who plant, harvest, and sustain lives.
The fair brought together local producers, consumers, and partners in a space for exchange, learning, and community strengthening.
A moment that strengthens the local economy, generates income, and keeps the connection between producer and consumer alive. More than just a fair, the initiative represents resistance, care for the land, and a commitment to a fairer and more sustainable future for all.
Inauguration of the new space: The Producer's Market
Betânia do Piauí celebrates the opening of the new space as a historic milestone for the municipality. A few years ago, this same location was just a poorly structured, completely open area known as "Casa da Feira" (Fair House), which lacked adequate conditions to accommodate all the vendors.
The Farmers' Market is much more than a physical building. It represents the realization of a collective dream, the result of the effort and unity of those who believe in the strength of family farming and local development.
With the completion of the project, it's possible to see the satisfaction and joy on the faces of everyone who uses the space. Now, the market offers a more organized, accessible, and welcoming environment, guaranteeing better working conditions, strengthening income generation, and contributing to the sustainable development of Betânia do Piauí.
In the eyes of those who live the experience.
Is the Family Farming Fair just a place for buying and selling? The experience of Renata, a local resident, shows that the answer goes far beyond that. In her account, she describes what really happens in this environment that strengthens bonds and values people.
During the fair, Renata shares a sensitive perspective on the encounters, the fresh produce, and the stories that give meaning to each stall. Her testimony reveals that the fair transcends commercial logic: it is a space for connection, care for people, and appreciation of family farming, reinforcing its social, cultural, and economic importance to the community.
