Environmental Education in the context of agricultural activities at the Instituto Agrário de Chókwè - Mozambique

Abstract

This study presented a reflection on the analysis of the perception of the apprentices of the Instituto Agrário de Chókwè on agricultural practices in the school context, understanding how environmental impacts are worked and looking for alternatives to assist agrarian development without harming the survival needs of the local environment. The methodology that served as the basis for this study was exploratory research of a bibliographic nature, discussing the various scientific contributions that allowed us to reach the results that Environmental Education in the region under study is not applied accordingly during practical classes of agricultural production. In this way, the insertion of the methodology of environmental agricultural practices to raise awareness among apprentices and the surrounding population, teaching the need to build new knowledge related to the introduction of sustainable agricultural practices aimed at optimizing agricultural production, may result in concrete actions to the change of perspective towards an agricultural production that develops strategies that collaborate with sustainable practices in agriculture.
