Abstract

Organic agriculture in the food sector is of great importance. This refers to a production method that combines technological practices with the complexity of ecological, socioeconomic and cultural relations, aiming at sustainable production that protects natural resources. In addition, organic agriculture follows the principles imposed by agroecology, producing healthier food enabling environmental and social issues. However, the availability of teaching materials on the subject is scarce, especially those directed to basic education. Given this, the objective of this work comprises the dissemination of knowledge about organic foods through the elaboration of a didactic booklet to be used by high school teachers, aiming to guide on the principles of organic foods, in order to promote awareness and encourage your consumption. To this end, the methodology used to carry out the present study was anchored to the qualitative method, where a literature review was performed on board the subject, in order to compile relevant information for the preparation of a booklet. After the preparation of the booklet, it was evaluated by the school management, pedagogues and teachers of an elementary school and by representatives of the Association of Studies Guidance and Rural Assistance (ASSESOAR), both from the municipality of Francisco Beltrão, seeking to improve the material. through suggestions. The elaboration of the didactic material on board the organic food together with the public consultation, proved to be an important tool, enabling the construction of a practical material relevant to the school environment.
