The second subproject was the implementation of an urban garden in Novo Recreio from late 2017 to June 2018 when there was the first harvesting. It became an opportunity for research and intervention because of a previous interest between two relevant local institutions: The Primary Health Care Unit and the local Municipal School, this last provided the site for implementing the garden. Having such a previous interest, the researchers identified a real possibility for collaborative work on building alternatives aligned to synergy towards the nexus. An urban garden can be understood as something to optimize the resources of the nexus, reducing trade-offs, but also involving people to produce food and simultaneously managing and reflecting on energy and water limitations. Following the methodological design of participatory research action (Thiollent 2011), this subproject joined efforts from local residents, health care, and school professionals to work together from the planning for implementation, acting, reflecting, and bringing their personal agricultural skills and knowledge to make possible the realization of the garden. The respective process also involved participatory research tools and a significative amount of collective work (Honda 2018).
