The challenges of Environmental Cducation in the agricultural sector before climate change

Abstract

Agriculture plays a dual role in the context of climate change, as it emits greenhouse gases, while the soil used can act as a carbon scavenger. Thus, the present study sought to understand how environmental education in this sector can help to face climate change. It was realized that it is through Environmental Education that it is expected to generate a change in the thinking and actions of those who work and manage the land. However, the reality of small and large producers differs, so it is important that alternative actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions focus on what is important for producers, even if for some the economic aspect has more value.
