Projeto “O Amanhã de Pindorama”: a utilização da horta orgânica como um elemento de conscientização ambiental

Abstract

This study is based on the reality of an agro-industrial cooperative, located in Alagoas, which develops a social project called O Amanhã de Pindorama, whose activities serve children and adolescents in the region, focusing mainly on working with organic gardens through workshops. Thus, it aims to reflect on how this type of activity can contribute to the strengthening of environmental awareness. As a methodology, a case study with a qualitative exploratory approach was used, in which data was obtained through observation and field diary, documentary analysis and interviews conducted with project participants. The results obtained showed that the work with organic vegetable garden can contribute to the teaching and learning process of the participants, engaging them in ecologically correct practices for the preservation of the environment.
