PROJETO SALA VERDE AND NON-CONVENTIONAL FOOD PLANTS: FLAVORS AND KNOWLEDGE THAT PROMOTE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION

Abstract

Non-Conventional Food Plants (PANC) are plant species with high nutritional and medicinal value, culinary versatility and easy cultivation, generally spontaneous. The objective of this work is to map the locations and the public participating in the PANC - Knowledge and Flavors, workshops promoted by the Sala Verde nas Ondas do Rio Iguaçu Program at the Federal Technological University of Paraná, Campus Dois Vizinhos (UTFPR), publicizing it with a view to expanding its reach and promote reflection on consumerism and food sovereignty. Thus, PANC contribute to university extension, food and environmental protection.
