Economia Solidária

Economia Solidária, or Solidarity Economy, is a way of organizing economic activities based on cooperation, shared values, and collective benefit rather than just profit. It emphasizes social and environmental responsibility, prioritizing communities, workers, and local development. This approach includes cooperatives, community-based enterprises, and mutual aid initiatives that work together to create fairer, sustainable livelihoods. It seeks to democratize economic power, promote social inclusion, and build resilient local economies where profits serve social goals, fostering a more equitable and participatory economic system.
