Entre o campo e a arte: experiências agroecológicas culturais

Abstract

During my bachelor's degree in Agroecology at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, I had the opportunity to experience an enriching academic trajectory. Over these years, I was able to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge that allowed me to understand the importance of agroecology as a multidisciplinary science. Since the beginning of the course, I realized that agroecology goes beyond a simple agricultural production technique. It encompasses social, economic and environmental aspects, promoting sustainability and preservation of natural resources. This holistic vision awakened in me the desire to apply the principles of agroecology in my daily life, both on my farm and in my community. Over the years, I have produced several projects at my site, seeking to combine art and education with environmental conservation. Through events and the use of artistic and educational techniques, such as painting workshops, sculpture and environmental education classes with recyclable materials and clay, I managed to obtain results both in terms of creativity and environmental awareness of the participants. Art has become a powerful tool for conveying messages about the importance of preserving nature, while providing an enriching and inspiring experience for everyone involved. Furthermore, I realized that education and culture play a fundamental role in the process of spreading agroecology. Through workshops and exchanges of experiences, I was able to share my knowledge with other people, encouraging them to adopt sustainable practices on their properties. In summary, my academic training in Agroecology was essential for my personal and professional growth. Through it, I was able to understand the importance of agroecology as a viable alternative for the production of healthy food, but in addition, it also values a sustainable way of life, culture, art and education as fundamental elements for building a more balanced and conscious society. Also, I was able to apply the knowledge acquired on my site and in my community, contributing to the construction of a fairer and more balanced future.
