Abstract
O consumidor consciente tem um papel importante na sociedade ao adotar práticas em suas escolhas cotidianas que privilegiam aspectos como sustentabilidade e responsabilidade social. A atividade agrícola é conhecida por seu impacto no meio ambiente e a decisão de minimizá-lo recai em geral sobre um indivíduo, o produtor rural. Com base em uma escala de consciência sobre tratos culturais agrícolas considerados corretos e exigidos por lei, este trabalho verifica como o agricultor, em especial o produtor de hortaliças em espaços urbanos, comporta-se diante de questões ambientais e sociais, frente o uso das embalagens de agrotóxicos, por exemplo, Foram entrevistados 21 horticultores de Piracicaba, interior de São Paulo. Os resultados indicaram que metade dos entrevistados são caracterizados iniciantes no consumo consciente e nenhum como consciente, justificando novas campanhas de educação voltadas aos agricultores, no sentido de aumentar suas práticas ambientais e sociais.----------------------------------------------------------The Conscience Consumer has an important role in society adopting practices in their daily chooses that privilege aspects as sustainability and social responsibility.

The results indicate that half of the interviewed are characterized as conscience beginners and no one as conscientious, justifying new campaigns of education turned to producers in order to raise their environmental e social practices.
