Ecovillages are sustainable human settlements created by civil society that address the UN's sustainable development goals and develop innovative solutions in different dimensions of sustainability. However, the urban-rural dichotomy that permeates Brazilian legislation related to land use and occupation hinders the expression of new ruralities and the development of ecovillages. This essay clarifies the role of ecovillages in sustainable development, problematizes the difficulties caused by Brazil’s current legal framework, and indicates a possible path for the inclusion of ecovillages in the legislation as a relevant social actor in the efforts towards local sustainability. We clarify how ecovillages can be included in Municipal Zoning Plans through the creation of “Zones of Agroecology and Ecovillages”. Finally, we define clear criteria to guide public managers in identifying the existing ecovillages in their territories.
