Manual como ferramenta para implementação de feira agroecológica em local de trabalho

Abstract

Health Promotion (PS) works to produce health at a personal and collective level, with intraand intersectoral coordination being essential to avoid exposure to the determinants that cause illness, with one of its priorities to be addressed being the promotion of adequate and healthy nutrition and sustainable development. Therefore, opting for a healthy diet means favoring fresh foods and avoiding ultra-processed products and prioritizing a sustainable and fair food system. In turn, the agroecological food system meets the criteria to guarantee adequate and healthy food, promoting health for producers and the population, preserving biodiversity. Thus, it is possible to analyze environments that have the potential to promote health through the provision of adequate, healthy and sustainable food. In this context, it is clear that workplaces are increasingly present in our daily lives and that the interaction between companies and employees generates a relationship of dependence, leading them to spend a significant part of their time in the professional environment, in which the WHO advises that actions and initiatives must be taken to create a healthy and health-promoting work environment. Therefore, the general objective of the work is to prepare a manual for implementing an agroecological fair in the workplace. The methodology follows an observational, descriptive study, of the experience report type, based on academic practice carried out during the mandatory supervised internship in the area of Public Health, of the undergraduate course in Nutrition, at the Federal University of Alagoas. The study was structured based on the action plan carried out during the internship, which involved the implementation of an agroecological fair at the Municipal Health Department, located in the center of Maceió. In view of this, the importance of having an agroecological fair in the workplace was noted. In view of this, the work proposes to produce a manual, through the Visme digital platform, containing details on how to implement an agroecological fair in the workplace, with a format instructions with the step-by-step instructions needed to hold the fair, in addition, it also addresses the advantages of this practice for promoting health, valuing sustainable practices and economic development in the region. Thus, the manual aims to provide greater accessibility in quantity and quality to foods with a high nutritional content and free from contaminants, favor the conservation of natural resources, the preservation of biodiversity and the reduction of environmental impacts by encouraging sustainable agriculture, as well as aims to propagate Food and Nutrition Education actions and develop spaces for integration between workers.
