The natural environment is often seen as a resource without considering its intrinsic limitations, especially the fragile environments.Toguide sustainable development in areas of fragility and vulnerability becomes a north, using the security of resources to establish new practices and perspectives of social technology; seeking to disseminate Food and Nutrition Security along with knowledge of community food sovereignty; disseminate study practices on watersecurity,water resources and water quality; and disseminate issues surrounding Energy Security, access, investment and technological innovations in sources of generation and consumptioncapacity.In this context, this work aimed to elaborate a reflexive synthesis of the extension actions that were developed by theresearch team of the Nexus CNPq Project - Bioma Caatinga, constructing a compilation of strategies and educational actions, aiming to reduce the vulnerability of inserted rural communities in the biome in question, from the analysis of the levels ofwater,food and energy security of the rural populations of the municipality of Forquilha, Ceará. The leases were elementary schools, EEF Eduardo Cavalcante Aragão and EEF Francisco Teotônio Alves Pessoa, from the rural communities of Trapiá and São Lourenço respectively, with an average of 250 students distributed in classes from the 3rd to the 9th grade. The methodology adopted was action research, in which short courses and workshops were promoted and applied in teaching institutions for four months. As a fundamental result we had the themes of food, water and energy that awakened the sustainable development of the youngest inhabitants of the municipality, generating reflections on the use and occupation of the semi-arid soil, the preservation of water resources, the importance of healthy food and the multiplication of less impact energymatrices.
