Contribuições da agroecologia para o ensino de Geografia: relato de experiência na escola José Valdo Ribeiro Ramos, Fortaleza, Ceará

Abstract

This study presents an experiential account of the contributions of agroecology to geographic education, grounded in activities conducted within the framework of the Pedagogical Residency Program and Supervised Curriculum Internships. The primary objective is to explore how agroecology can be incorporated into geography instruction, thereby promoting a more comprehensive understanding of the interactions among society, the environment, and geographical space. An investigation was carried out at José Valdo Ribeiro Ramos High School in Fortaleza-CE, employing qualitative methodologies such as participant observation, interviews, and analysis of practical activities related to school gardens. The research underscores the significance of agroecology in the critical development of students, addressing themes such as food security, sustainability, and food sovereignty. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of contextualized education tailored to the students' realities, fostering participatory and informed citizenship. Agroecology emerges as a sustainable approach that integrates ecological and social knowledge, contributing to the enhancement of family farming and environmental conservation.
