Feiras, feirantes e abastecimento: uma revisão da literatura brasileira sobre comercialização nas feiras livres

Abstract

This study analyzes the scientific production on Brazilian free trade fairs. To do this, it researched the products available in libraries, catalogs and the internet, systematizing information about publication, period, content, methodologies and areas included in those studies. In addition, it sought to characterize the Brazilian fairs and their actors, analyzing particularities and similarities. It was observed that these works had mostly qualitative approaches, published mainly in scientific journals; but it is perceived that each Brazilian fair has its specificity, supplying the local population according to its customs and characteristics of the local economy. Thus, free markets create an economic movement, but preserve the regionalized food agenda.
