Abstract

This article aims to analyze the materialization of the Xique-Xique network as a Solidarity Economy Enterprise (EES) in the territory of Rio Grande do Norte. The article sought to identify to what extent the network has expanded, created materialities, actions and developed its agricultural production under agroecological bases. Through methodological procedures, such as the bibliographic survey and the application of a questionnaire, we understand that since the creation of the network, it has increased its spatialization in the semi-arid Potiguar region, aggregating a significant number of agents among members, producers, consumers, points of sale and the agroecological fairs, while it has managed to consolidate the principles of Solidarity Economy, acting as an alternative for family farmers in the face of hegemonic agriculture processes.
