description Urban and peri-urban Agriculture (UPA) is intertwined with a comprehensive sustainability agenda, being a key element of a robust and resilient food system, while promoting greener cities. However, UPA is not fully understood by researchers, governments and general population, partly due to the heterogeneity of yout forms. This article seeks to contribute to the understanding of the debate on UPA initiatives in Brazil by presenting the results of a systematic literature review that intended to outline: a quantitative overview of recent academic production on UPA in Brazil; a qualitative analysis of recent academic production on UPA in Brazilian capitals states and the Federal District. The results indicate a quantitative increase in the number of articles published on the subject. Additionally, the spatial distribution of cited cases in the articles shows that they are concentrated in cities located in the south and southeast Brazil. Also, the frequency of keywords found in the papers highlights the social character and environmental aspects of the discussion about UPA. Qualitatively, the overview indicates that UPA initiatives are primarily located intra-urban, often in common/public places rather than private ones. The majority of initiatives operate within a community system, focusing on the production of vegetables for self-consumption.
