Street fairs can be considered as inducers of healthy and sustainable food environments and can favor diversity in the consumption of fruits and vegetables, including non-conventional ones (HFNC). The objective of the work was to analyze the spatial distribution and access to commercial establishments of organic and/or agroecological foods and the availability of HFNC in these spaces located in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Location and inventory of HFNC species were collected. The spatial distribution was evaluated by the geographic coordinates of the establishments and georeferencing. There was a greater concentration of these commercial spaces in the regions of the city with higher income. 105 species of HFNC were mapped, with herbaceous vegetables and fruits being the most frequent.
