The consumption of agroecological products brings benefits to human and environmental health and generates income for small rural producers. This study aimed to evaluate the dynamics of the implementation of an agroecological fair on the premises of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte, Campus Ipanguaçu, enabling students to have direct contact with producers and generate income for producers of family farming in the region. To hold the fair, tent-type tents, plastic tables and ornamentation with bands containing phrases with agroecological motifs and with the fair's logo were used. It was possible to prove a demand from the institution's public, from a digital form applied to students, servers, outsourced and administrative technicians. The supply and demand relationship was satisfactory, obtaining 73.7% of sales.
