Environmental education is an essential instrument for the formation of a critical conscience in society as a whole. The formation of the agronomy course must be intrinsically linked to environmental issues, since the activities developed by the future professional have direct consequences to nature, so the decisions must have as pillars, the understanding of environmental issues and the promotion of the sustainability in agroescosystems. The present research had as aim to perform a diagnosis on the environmental perception of students and professors of the agronomy undergraduate course of the Agricultural Sciences Center of the Federal University of Alagoas (CECA – UFAL). This work was carried out through a qualitative research, where the data collection was based on a questionnaire, with a sample of 95 students and 15 teachers. Therefore, a deficient and inconsistent approach regarding environmental education in the agronomy course of the CECA-UFAL, thus it is recommended that more disciplines be inserted for environmental education, not only in the course of agronomy, but in all the course of the area of agrarian sciences.

The changes made in the natural dynamics cause risks that influence the equilibrium, terrestrial and atmospheric. The aim of the study was to characterize the land cover and land use of the Espinharas river sub-basin, with emphasis on the Permanent Preservation Areas (APP) and Areas of Restricted Use (ARU). The Sub-basin of rio Espinharas is part of the Northern Country Depression, it has one of the most typical landscapes of the northeastern semi-arid region. For the analyzes, multispectral images of the Landsat 8 OLI satellites were used, from the orbits and points 215/65, 216/64, bands 3, 4 and 5. The delineation of the sub-basin began with obtaining the hydrological attributes in the Software QGIS. For the identification of the areas of land use conflicts in APP and ARU, the map algebra was used to perform an overlay of the land cover and use map with the Map of the APP and ARU, using SIG Idrisi Software. The classes of land use and land cover in the SBH of the Espinharas River has the predominance of the Open Arboreal Shrub Caatinga (OASC) typologies with 2,239.37 km² (68.13%), Closed Arboreal Shrub Caatinga (CASC) with 203.17 km² (6.18%) of the total SBH area. It was also verified that 752.67 km² (22.90%) of the total area corresponds to anthropism. The satellite images allowed to have a clear, comprehensive and current view of the use and land cover of SBH of the river Espinharas. Discrimination, mapping and quantification of land use and land cover areas through the Geographical Information System (IDRISI, QGIS GRASS) classification allowed us to obtain results with greater agility regarding the integration and manipulation of the areas. The data obtained will help recovery plans and planning of the area, since a part of SBH is not complying with the current environmental legislation.

Em meio ao um surto pandêmico, todos os setores da economia foram afetados, de maneira mais ou menos intensa, desde os de matérias-primas, de transformação, até o de serviços, sendo que as medidas restritivas de circulação impactaram os sistemas de produção e redes de comercialização, devido a esse acontecimento tanto produtores e feirantes tiveram que se adaptar a outras mudanças quanto ao meio de comercialização dos seus produtos. Em virtude da grande importância do tema em questão, o principal objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar e avaliar a situação dos feirantes, a respeito da comercialização dos seus produtos, levando em consideração os aspectos sociais e econômicos para a obtenção de informações relevantes da real situação comercial na principal feira do município de Bom Jardim antes e durante a pandemia. Através da coleta de materiais por meio de questionário. Nesse contexto, foi possível apresentar um breve panorama da situação entre agricultores familiares, a maior parte dos feirantes que relataram não ter tido dificuldades com as mudanças impostas pela pandemia foram aqueles que conseguiram se adaptar às oportunidades trazidas pela crise, os mesmos tiveram a necessidade de se manter na atividade mesmo nas adversidades, e continuaram a desenvolver uma agricultura de resiliência. Obtivemos nos resultados, porcentagens expressivas mostram o quanto a pandemia do covid-19 impactou no meio de vida em relação a comercialização dos feirantes. Mediante as análises dos dados coletado, recomendasse mais investimentos na infraestrutura do mercado para acomodação dos feirantes proporcionando organização e higiene.
