our consumption habits, aiming at
sustainability, solidarity
and community spirit.

Granja Viana participated in a very
particular way. Besides joining world

gathered that night for revitalizing
special places in Granja Viana.

able to sell their organic
production.

government to install "crosswalks" in places with large flow
