The objective of this research is to analyse the contribution of the urban and peri-urban agriculture
in the local development of the municipality of Marituba-PA. Thus, the methodology presented a
qualitative and quantitative character based on visits to agricultural parcels (direct observation),
meetings with farmers and semi-structured interviews. Then, we used GPS map 62s and drone
phantom 4 for location of agricultural areas and aerial photography. In summary, the results of our
theoretical discussion on the concepts of Territory, Territoriality and Power allows us to conclude
that there are all related to geography and respect human spatiality and also present in other areas
of knowledge, each with a focus on a certain perspective. Likewise, he started the two circuits of
the urban economy: the inferior circuit as the superior circuit do not articulate in the same way
because there are different. The two circuits complete each other while remaining different from
each other. Certainly, the results obtained demonstrate that urban and peri-urban agriculture
contribute significantly to food security and income generation, as well as the local development
of the Uriboca neighborhood. In addition, farmers are mostly people with low education and
agriculture and their main activity. Therefore, decision-makers should develop public policies that
will encourage this activity to generate more profits for the weel-being of Marituba residents.
