In recent decades, agriculture has been changing mainly in terms of organic production, consumption and market. This increase is due to people's interest in pesticide-free products that meet all environmental, cultural and social issues, presenting itself as a highly competitive and lucrative market niche. For this reason, this bibliographic review aims to describe the market scenario and the production of agroecological seeds, in addition to characterizing the production of organic seeds and evaluating the potential of this market niche, which is increasingly the target of investments and demand for food. , but it is important to have more studies about it, as well as specific legislation for organic seeds.
