  We obtain the supergravity dual of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theory in 2+1
dimensions with a large number of unquenched massless flavors. The geometries
found are obtained by solving the equations of motion of supergravity coupled
to a suitable continuous distribution of flavor branes. The background obtained
preserves two supersymmetries. We find that when N_c\ge 2N_f the behavior of
the solutions is compatible with having an asymptotically free dual gauge
theory with dynamical quarks. On the contrary, when N_c<2N_f the theory
develops a Landau pole in the UV. We also find a new family of (unflavored)
backgrounds generated by D5-branes that wrap a three-cycle of a cone with G_2
holonomy.
