Abstract
This paper focuses on the implementation of Social Control Organizations (SCO) at Milton Santos Settlement in the State of Sao Paulo, between the cities of Americana and Cosmopolis. According to the norms of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply of the Brazilian Government, an SCO allows for the recognition of the organic quality of the products traded by means of direct sales from the farmer to the consumer, or bought by means of public procurement. The analysis is based on the justifications theory, considering the emergence of ecological principles of justice, as well as the proof of reality principle. According to this perspective, the SCO can be interpreted as a means to assess the ecological discourse in favor of the settlement, exposingthe engagement of the population with sustainable agriculture practices. In this sense, the families of this settlement perceive the SCO beyond its economical role.
