The unbridled growth of industrial fields and civil construction has caused serious environmental impacts, which can be mitigated and repaired with the aim of raising awareness among the population about environmental conservation. Civil construction has a direct influence on natural resources and, therefore, is a subject to be studied to improve the quality of life. Sustainable Construction has been the focus of many studies due to global concern regarding the environment. Cargo containers are a versatile material for use in a variety of applications. Due to their low cost, durability, quick construction, portability and ease of assembly, they are widely used to build post-disaster houses, military operations and conventional homes. These structures are seen as a sustainable architectural alternative, as they are recyclable, but the vast majority end up being discarded in port warehouses even though their useful life has not been exhausted, as sending them back to their place of origin is more expensive than purchasing new ones. a new. The general objective was to describe the efficiency of container housing, with a view to sustainable development. This study was carried out through an integrative review. The results indicate that this construction is fast, clean and sustainable, reducing the amount of construction waste and having less impact on the environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este estudo tem como objetivo apresentar microrganismos que podem ser utilizados como bioinsumos para as culturas de maior ocupação da Bacia dos rios Sapucaí Mirim/Grande. A pesquisa se concentra na região da bacia UGRHI-08, no nordeste do estado de São Paulo, onde as principais culturas são cana-de-açúcar, pastagens, café e cereais. Bioinsumos são utilizados para aumentar a eficiência, qualidade e a sustentabilidade dos sistemas agrícolas. Já o uso dos microrganismos como bioinsumos atua como agente biológico de controle, bioestimulante e fertilizante. A metodologia aplicada foi qualitativa com uso de material referencial como artigos científicos e literatura atual. Este trabalho teve como resultado que, em culturas de Cana-deaçúcar na Bacia, para o controle de nematoides como Pratylenchus sp. e Meloidogyne sp. Podem ser utilizados como bioinsumos os microrganismos Bacillus sp. (B. subtilis, B. amyloliquefaciens, etc.). No caso das pastagens, para o controle de Cigarirnhas-das-pastagens (Deois flavopicta), pode ser utilizado o Metarhizium anisopliae, um fungo que parasita as ninfas. Para o controle nas culturas de café, quanto a Broca-do-café (Hypothenemus hampei), pode ser utilizado o fungo Beauveria bassiana. No caso dos cereais, como a soja e o milho, na soja, para o controle de Nematoides como Pratylenchus sp. e Meloidogyne sp. podem ser utilizadas as espécies de bactérias do gênero Bacillus, e no milho, para o controle de Cigarrinha-do-milho (Dalbulus maidis), podem ser utilizados fungos como a Beauveria bassiana e Cordyceps fumosorosea. Espera-se, com isso, que sejam consideradas a utilização desses mecanismos na bacia, em prol da sustentabilidade. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

O artigo resulta de um estudo, cujo o objetivo foi analisar a repercussão da Lei n° 12.305/2010, que instituiu a Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos, em relação a problemática dos resíduos sólidos no Município de Cruz Alta/RS. Considerando que é no município que se verifica a maior responsabilidade frente a gestão dos resíduos sólidos, tratando-se a implementação da Lei um processo longo e controverso, indagou-se: Como a Lei n° 12.305/2010 está contribuindo para amenizar a problemática dos resíduos sólidos no Município de Cruz Alta? Para tanto, o método utilizado na pesquisa foi o dedutivo, caracterizando-se, ainda, como qualitativa do tipo descritiva e bibliográfica, complementada pela análise documental. Os resultados mostram que, embora a coleta seletiva tenha sido a principal medida adotada pelo município para cumprir a Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos (PNRS) e ajudar a mitigar os problemas dos resíduos sólidos, o município enfrenta dificuldades para atender plenamente às diretrizes e objetivos da lei. Além disso, foi constatado que a formulação da PNRS falhou ao não envolver adequadamente a participação cidadã dos municípios no seu desenvolvimento.

Objective: Currently, human beings are feeling the effects of global warming and high temperatures, and it is necessary to seek new forms of ventilation. This work aims to develop a prototype in order to propose a sustainable solution to improve the residential indoor temperature. Methodology: To compare the internal temperature of a standard house, with an unconventional ventilation house that was proposed in the prototype, in order to verify its efficiency. For this, statistical analyzes were carried out through the data of the measurements carried out in the two prototypes, which occurred at different times (14:00 and 18:00) during the period of 51 days. Relevance: Natural ventilation implies a sustainable method constituted by the natural flow of air providing the environment with a more pleasant sensation, being very relevant to the quality of life of the human being. Results: By comparing the average internal temperature between them, it was possible to verify that the average internal temperature of the standard house was significantly higher than the house with unconventional ventilation, considering the heat period. It analyzed that factors such as climate, humidity, period (time) and the window inserted in the prototype, influenced the temperature of the environment. Conclusion: The main conclusion of the work is given by the fact that the proposed prototype provided a reduction in temperature using natural methods, and consequently a possible reduction in electricity consumption contributing to a more sustainable world.

O pó de balão e a escória de aciaria são dois resíduos gerados na indústria siderúrgica com potencialidade de uso como agregados na construção civil. O bloco de solo-cimento permite realizar construções de mais baixo custo e sustentáveis. O objetivo deste trabalho é quantificar o aumento de desempenho nos blocos de solo-cimento devido a utilização de uma mistura de pó de balão e escória de aciaria. O percentual de incorporação dos mesmos à mistura variou de 0% a 8% do total da massa. Os parâmetros avaliados foram a absorção de água e a resistência à compressão dos blocos. A substituição do resíduo pelo solo não alterou os valores de absorção de água, sendo sempre estes valores os exigidos pela normativa (absorção abaixo de 20%). No caso de substituição do solo pelo resíduo em uma quantidade de 8%, com respeito à massa total do solo, o aumento da resistência à compressão foi de 15%. Para todos os traços estudados a resistência à compressão sempre foi superior à exigida pela normativa (>2,0 MPa). Se conclui que o uso do bloco de solo-cimento nas construções com a utilização deste resíduo gera uma economia da obra e uma melhora nos aspectos ambientais.

A produção mundial de batata foi superior a 368 milhões de toneladas e a produção brasileira a 22ª maior do mundo em 2020, se desenvolvendo principalmente em Minas Gerais, São Paulo e Paraná, que respondem por 74% da produção, toda destinada para o mercado interno. O mercado de batata é instável e regulado pela sazonalidade da oferta e demanda do produto, com incertezas em relação aos preços. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar os indicadores de sustentabilidade na produção de batata dos dez produtores mais eficientes (apresentam indicadores de eficiência acima de 90%) e verificar se esses produtores são sustentáveis. Para mensurar a eficiência técnica adotou-se o modelo paramétrico meio-normal com heteroscedasticidade, além de efetuar a mensuração dos indicadores de sustentabilidade das empresas produtoras de batata através da metodologia de “Metas do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (MDS)” propostas pela ONU. Foram coletadas e analisadas informações primárias em uma amostra significativa de 50 produtores de batata na mesorregião geográfica de Campinas, SP. Os produtores mais eficientes economicamente em custos e lucros apresentaram níveis de sustentabilidade adequados. Abstract: World potato production was over 368 million tons and Brazilian production was the 22nd largest in the world in 2020, mainly in Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and Paraná, which account for 74% of production, all destined for the domestic market. The potato market is unstable and regulated by the seasonality of supply and demand for the product, about uncertainties regarding prices. The aim of this research was to analyze the sustainability indicators in potato production of the ten most efficient producers (with efficiency indicators above 90%) and to verify if these producers are sustainable. To measure the technical efficiency, the half-normal parametric model with heteroscedasticity was adopted, in addition to measuring the sustainability indicators of the potato producing companies through the methodology of “Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)” proposed by the UN. Primary information was collected and analyzed on a significant sample of 50 potato producers in the geographical mesoregion of Campinas, SP. The most economically efficient producers in terms of costs and profits showed adequate levels of sustainability.

O desenvolvimento, propagado a partir de 1949, e o desenvolvimento sustentável, oriundo de 1970, não foram hábeis de inibir a degradação ambiental. Por isso, nesta pesquisa, buscou-se a decisão judicial equatoriana (11121-2011- 0010) e a colombiana (3872-2020) para investigar se é possível pensar em meios alternativos de vida. Para tanto, utilizou-se o método de abordagem sistêmico-complexo, pois se partiu de uma análise transdisciplinar para averiguar a complexidade das demandas ambientais, visto que há uma teia de relações que permeiam a problemática ambiental. Em relação ao método de procedimento, utilizou-se o bibliográfico, pois partiu-se da leitura de livros, artigos científicos, teses e dissertações sobre o tema em questão, utilizando-se das técnicas de fichamentos e resumos. Concluiu-se que, ao contrário do Brasil, há países da América Latina que têm dados passos rumo à concretização de uma democracia plena e em harmonia com a natureza, sendo possível não somente a busca, mas a consolidação de meios alternativos de vida.

O estudo permitiu compreender que, ao firmar um pacto mundial para a construção de um mundo sustentável e resiliente, o Brasil comprometeu-se, a partir da Base, a tornar efetiva a formação humana considerando esta inadiável necessidade ambiental.

Intercropping is the process of planting two or more crops simultaneously in the same field in order to provide greater ecosystem services (i.e. services related to sustainable land and water use, climate change mitigation, and ecosystem restoration). In southern Mexico, the cereal-legume intercropping is a traditional cropping practice that is declining overtime. This paper provides a literature review of the potential benefits and constraints of a maize-legume intercropping for small-scale farms in southern Mexico. This review explored and elucidated the different ecosystem services delivered by maize-legume intercropping systems. This information will help farmers know how to make a better use of cereal-legume intercropping systems to increase maize yields, improve their socioeconomic conditions, and enhance conservation agricultural practices in southern Mexico.

Objective of the Study: To analyze the role of social capital in developing sustainable micro-entrepreneurship among rural women. In addition, it also interprets the conceptual understanding of social capital, micro-entrepreneurship development, and the determinants that promote micro-entrepreneurship have been discussed. Relevance/Originality: There are numerous ways to achieve entrepreneurship, but social capital is one way to develop entrepreneurship. Social capital consists of mutual trust, understanding, reciprocity, social relation, collective actions, etc., among its group members. Methodology/Approach: This article presents a conceptual, theoretical framework by scrutinizing the archive literature to comprehend social capital's role in developing sustainable micro-entrepreneurship. Three forms of social capital, namely Self Help Group, SHG federation, and NGO, have been considered for this study. These social capitals then correlate with each of the indicators of micro-entrepreneurship identified and examined the role of social capital in developing sustainable micro-entrepreneurship among rural women. Main Results: Three forms of social capital such as SHG, SHG federation, and NGO that have been taken for this study, contributes to sustainable micro-entrepreneurship in various ways, i.e. SHG and SHG federation help in achieving social factors and financial inclusion, whereas NGOs provide entrepreneurial training and suitable business network for the women-owned enterprises. Theoretical/Methodological contributions: This study contributes to developing a theoretical framework by analyzing the pieces of literature that contribute to sustainable micro-entrepreneurship development through social capital. Social/management contributions: Social capital promotes sustainable micro-entrepreneurship, which leads to the employment generation, generates regular sources of income, addresses multiple social and economic issues, and promotes a better means of livelihood for rural women.

A construção civil é responsável por gerar grandes impactos ambientais, fazendo-se necessário adotar alternativas que reduzam essa problemática e atendam ao desenvolvimento sustentável. Entre as alternativas, destaca-se a substituição dos materiais convencionais por outros mais limpos, a exemplo do bambu. Trata-se de um vegetal de rápido desenvolvimento, com propriedades e potencialidade para ser utilizado na construção civil. Devido à sua elevada resistência à tração, torna-se equiparável ao aço. Partindo desse princípio, a presente pesquisa exploratória de método qualitativo apresenta como objetivo abordar o uso do bambu como material estrutural na construção civil. Por meio de uma metodologia de cunho bibliográfico, explicita-se as propriedades, os benefícios e as limitações do bambu na construção civil. Além disso, para melhor exemplificar o uso do bambu como material estrutural, foram expostas construções com esse material, como também, por meio de um questionário, foi realizada uma análise da sua utilização na construção civil no Brasil. Desse modo, verifica-se que o bambu é um material que detém propriedades úteis para ser utilizado na construção civil. Entretanto, no Brasil, sua utilização ainda não ocorre de forma ampla, devido a fatores que limitam o seu uso.

Agriculture is important in the food production sector and, to meet all the food demand of the population, the agricultural sector has modernized, using chemical control in agriculture to control pests, diseases and weeds. The objective of this work was to carry out a literature review on the problems of chemical control in agriculture from an agricultural perspective, in order to demonstrate how chemical control affects the agricultural sector. The present study was developed based on the review of literature and relevant research based on data from the years between 2015 to 2021, using articles and data in Portuguese on academic google, using chemical control problems and the perspective of agriculture with agrochemicals as keywords. To ensure the production of crops, crop management must be carried out correctly, and the control of pests, diseases and weeds that affect crops, for this, one of the methods used today is chemical control. With the use of chemical control, it made it possible for agriculture to achieve large productions with the benefits provided by its use in the control of pests, diseases and weeds, but it brought with it some problems in its use, whether in the social, environmental and social spheres. Due to the problems caused by the large use of agrochemicals and the search for sustainable rural development, other alternative methods are adopted in agriculture, such as biological and cultural control, which has brought many benefits, one of which is the reduction of the use of chemical control. In agriculture, reducing costs and helping to maintain the sustainability of the entire agricultural production sector. In this way, the inadequate use of chemical control has brought and brings problems, such as contamination and intoxication in the environment and to human beings, in addition to problems related to resistance to pests, diseases and weeds, making their control more expensive, requiring the adoption of other methods. control methods, such as cultural control and biological control, which have in themselves more sustainable characteristics, thus reducing the use of agrochemicals in agriculture and reducing the problems caused by their use.

New trends in Procurement are requiring the integration of sustainability principles. Involve a look beyond traditional economic parameters, a more strategic and broader context, adding value to money, managing performance, corporate and community priorities as a whole. The need to improve organizational efficiency, reduce waste and seek a competitive position, has shown companies, to consider the sustainable pillars (Environmental, Economic, and Social) from a competitive point of view. The objective of this work is to compare how Sustainable Procurement is recommended by the world organizations UNDP, UNICEF, and WORLD BANK. The methodology used was that of qualitative research, in the management reports of Organs world bodies, directed to Sustainable Procurement. The results obtained were the identification of particularities in each direction using the triple-bottom-line (TBL) method. Although global organizations recognize sustainability as a strategic objective, there are many definitions, focuses, and business activities associated with sustainability. The work has a limitation by the method employed, focusing on definitions presented by world bodies. The article is made purely from the point of view of the Procurement, excluding issues such as logistics and supply chain and the presentation seeks guidance regarding the execution of Sustainable Procurement.

The objective of this work was to report the environmental educational practices developed by educators and students from the Advanced Class D. Pedro II, in the community of Sanharó, State of Bahia, Brazil and their results for the development of education in the municipal school system. This report was developed based on a descriptive study, with students from multigrade classes in the final years of Elementary School as participants. A qualitative approach was used in order to know, from the perspective of environmental education, the actions of individuals or groups in their own environment and social context. The qualitative approach was used in order to obtain a greater understanding of the community and the existence of these educational practices related to environmental education as an instrument for the emancipation of the subjects. As a result, it was identified that students and the community realized the power of actions carried out collectively and built new knowledge. However, the promotion of practices related to environmental education must be exercised by everyone, as the theme involves the entire society and goes beyond the school space. Therefore, it becomes necessary to spread these good practices everywhere, so that the goals are collectively achieved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The term "sharing economy" is intended to identify a set of social relations, digitally mediated, based on the principles of reciprocity and trust. However, such principles must result from the technological and design requirements of the platforms used where users deposit their personal data, insert information about interests and daily practices, communicate with strangers and, in this way, create personal bonds. The study hereby presented aims to identify a set of guidelines for building trust in the context of digitally mediated sharing of collaborative lifestyles, on platforms that promote the sharing of experiences in sustainable contexts. Within the scope of this study, sharing collaborative lifestyles means a non-monetary social exchange of knowledge, skills, accommodation, and food. The analyzed platforms -- Volunteers Base, The Poosh, and WWOOF Portugal -- are non-commercial organizations that promote experiences in educational projects in eco villages, natural construction projects in rural areas, permaculture projects on farms, among others. A multi-case and documentary study of the terms and policies published by these digital platforms was carried out. These regulatory documents were submitted to content analysis, using the Iramuteq and MAXQDA software. From this analysis, 20 guidelines emerged, in three categories: "practices and conduct", "conditions" and "security and privacy", which can guide users and platforms in the construction of digitally mediated sharing relationships in a transparent and reliable way.

White and naturally colored Corriedale sheep is compared with the main quality characteristics of wool. Wool samples from 112 Corriedale ewes from two phenotype groups (56 white and 56 naturally colored) were evaluated by the Optical Fiber Diameter Analysis (OFDA 2000®). Data were submitted to variance analysis to evaluate the effect of the phenotype group, whereas averages were compared by F test. Fiber diameter, the coefficient of diameter variation, the statistical distribution of the fibers that fall short of average diameter of the sample, the number of micromes that deviate from the average diameter of 5% of the thickest fibers, thread quality and the curvature of the fibers had higher rates in naturally colored animals (p<0.05). According to the Brazilian wool classification system, most samples were classified as Cruza 2. Results show that white and naturally colored Corriedale ewes have distinct characteristics in qualitative aspects of wool fibers, although within the recommended standards for the breed.

Esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida no Sertão de Alagoas, entre os meses de julho de 2018 e março de 2019, onde se estudou um grupo de agricultores membros da Associação de produtores em agroecologia – APAOrgânico, situada no município de Pão de Açúcar-AL. A associação conta com 29 sócios, porém apenas 22 estão ativos com a produção junto à associação. Assim, este estudo tem como objetivo geral verificar o papel da tecnologia social PAIS para a Associação de Produtores em Agroecologia (APAOrgânico) na promoção do desenvolvimento rural no semiárido. A metodologia escolhida foi um estudo de caso, de caráter exploratório, configurada como qualitativa e quantitativa (por meio da aplicação de formulários semiestruturados com onze agricultores, levantamento e sistematização de dados secundários sobre a temática abordada e também relatos dos agricultores entrevistados). De forma geral, em Pão de Açúcar-AL 730 pessoas foram atendidas com tecnologias sociais (água para beber). Destaca-se, então, que o fortalecimento dos agricultores por meio da APAOrgânico tem sido importante no cenário do desenvolvimento rural sustentável, como também para convivência com o semiárido. A tecnologia PAIS foi responsável por possibilitar acesso às tecnologias que facilitaram adaptação para que a produção agroecológica fosse possível, como a produção em mandalas. Sem a tecnologia PAIS, muitos agricultores não disporiam de meios para produzir, pois não teriam ferramentas para captar a água da chuva, bem como para captar água do rio para realizar irrigação. Com relação à diferença dos produtos agroecológicos para o convencional, 36,36% dos agricultores relataram que a qualidade é a principal diferença, seguida de 27,27% que apontaram preço e a qualidade e 27,27% responderam outros. Isso é percebido porque 54,55% dos entrevistados já utilizaram algum tipo de agrotóxico, ao passo que 45,45% nunca utilizaram.

O conceito de mobilidade urbana tem influência direta nas populações das cidades. O Índice de Mobilidade Urbana Sustentável (IMUS) é uma ferramenta de avaliação e diagnostico dos aspectos de mobilidade, proposto com o intuito de abranger as diversas áreas que esse tema possui. O índice possui uma estrutura composta por domínios, temas e indicadores, permitindo em sua aplicação uma análise parcial. Nesta pesquisa, buscou-se aplicar em Sinop o IMUS de maneira setorial sobre os domínios Aspectos Ambientais e Modos não Motorizados, que atingiram 40,7% e 40,5% da pontuação máxima, respectivamente. Esses números representam influências negativas na mobilidade urbana. O crescimento acentuado da frota de veículos motorizados, em ritmo muito acima do crescimento populacional e da implantação de obras de transportes reflete o desafio enfrentado atualmente no município, sendo necessárias soluções para que a tomada de ações seja efetiva. A partir dos resultados obtidos são feitas sugestões de melhorias para atender as exigências na área da mobilidade urbana, cada vez mais rígidas devido a sua crescente discussão.

The discussion about food security and environmental education has been growing constantly, due to the low diversity of fruits, vegetables and cereals our diet, health problems, and environmental problems linked to the production system. Therefore, there is a need to encourage education projects that discuss healthy and the possibility of obtaining quality food in consonance with the conservation of natural resources and biodiversity. With this goal in mind, the activities of the AgroAção project are being conducted in the agroecological garden and in the Pessegueirinho Trail located at UFSC, Curitibanos Campus, together with children with age between 7 and 12 years old. Until the moment, 442 students participated in project activities in 13 visits, benefiting five municipal public schools of Curitibanos / SC. This exchange of experience is providing learning to students and teachers as it relates to food production and conservation of natural resources and biodiversity.

Objetivou-se com este trabalho, avaliar o desenvolvimento da alface cv. Veneranda, em diferentes formas de irrigação em sistema orgânico de produção no semiárido Pernambucano. O presente estudo foi realizado na cidade de Salgueiro/PE, em uma propriedade rural de base familiar. Experimentalmente foram analisadas o desenvolvimento da alface orgânico irrigadas em canteiro econômico integrado ao sistema de irrigação cuca de umbu e canteiro convencional por meio da evapotranspiração de referência (ETo) diária, estimado pelo método padrão de Penman-Monteith recomendado pela FAO, durante sete épocas de avaliação biométrica após o transplantio (04; 08; 12; 16; 20; 24 e 27 DAT). Ao final do ciclo (27 DAT) foram avaliados os dados biométricos e de consumo hídrico por tipo do manejo da irrigação. Após coleta, os dados foram submetidos a análise de regressão polinomial. Os resultados mostraram que os parâmetros biométricos (número de folhas, altura e diâmetro da planta) foram superiores para o canteiro econômico, integrado sistema de irrigação cuca de umbu. No entanto, houve um consumo de 47,17 mm de água neste sistema de irrigação, quando comparado ao manejo da irrigação em canteiro convencional via ETo pelo método padrão de Penman-Monteith – FAO.

Análise da legalização dos alimentos transgênico no Brasil diante dos riscos e mecanismos de controle em relação à produção e comercialização dos Organismos Geneticamente Modificados (OGMs). Para tanto, realizou-se revisão bibliográfica. A Lei de Biossegurança nº 11.105 de 24 de março de 2005, legalizou a produção de OGMs no Brasil, inicialmente autorizando o plantio da soja geneticamente modificada; desde então, a norma vem sendo adaptada à necessidade de segurança da saúde humana e do meio ambiente. Serão abordadas as deficiências das pesquisas científicas para apuração da segurança do meio ambiente e dos consumidores, assim como a receptividade destes alimentos geneticamente modificados no mercado. Como o Estado Democrático de Direito é responsável pela tutela do meio ambiente e saúde dos seres humanos, será analisado o caminho percorrido sob a óptica da Bioética e Biodireito. Em suma, discute-se problemas referentes a insuficiência de pesquisas científicas quanto a produção de OGMs e segurança alimentar, os riscos de exposição do meio ambiente e do homem a um dano irreversível, a necessidade econômica e tutela do Estado em observância ao desenvolvimento sustentável.

O crescimento industrial mundial está cada vez mais interligado com os diversos meios sustentáveis, a fim de diminuir os problemas ambientais causados pelo crescimento desenfreado ocorrido até o momento, um meio alternativo encontrado foi a substituição parcial do agregado miúdo pelo polímero elastomérico. O concreto piloto apresentou uma resistência de 20,5 MPa após o término do período de cura aos 28 dias de idade, já nos concretos confeccionados com a adição do polímero, observou-se uma perda de resistência. Verificou-se também a queda da massa específica, aumento do índice de vazios e absorção de água conforme se adicionava o polímero. Com os resultados então coletados pode-se indicar as possíveis áreas de atuação, tais com: guias, sarjetas e mobiliários urbanos.

This paper aims to reflect on the challenges and perspectives related to the first phase of the construction of interdisciplinary research, a discipline of the Postgraduate Program of Sustainable Territorial Development, Federal University of Paraná - Brazil (PPGDTS/UFPR), which aims to diagnose and identify the research problem. This discipline meets the objectives of the Program and aims fundamentally to promote, through interdisciplinary perspective, the dialogue with theoretical and methodological approaches that articulate natural and social sciences and consider the diversity, complexity, local knowledge and different livelihoods in the analysis of reality. The proposed interdisciplinary exercise requires the formation of a new perspective on reality, formed by the dialogue between different areas and forms of knowledge; a look that, open to new possibilities, goes back to the territory and to sustainable development. The objective of the first stage of interdisciplinary research was reached with regard to the territorial diagnosis and the identification / construction of research problems. The collectively constructed observation and diagnostic work allowed each individual student to exercise reflexivity, maturing his or her research object; not obviously in the same territory, but within the theme of Sustainable Territorial Development.

In agriculture there is a great demand for water, because there is no agricultural production without this resource and due to its necessity for the production often occurs the use of irrational way, oversizing the applied slides in the agricultural crops, which ends up making this resource more and more scarce. In this context, it is imperative that irrigation management be done correctly through sustainable practices that ensure high productivity without wastage. Thus, this study aimed to identify the main aspects related to the use of irrigation water by family farmers of the Belt-Green project in Imperatriz-MA and inform them about the importance of their conscious use. A participatory rapid diagnosis (DRP) was developed to characterize the use of water by farmers. The DRP results showed the need of the farmers who are part of the project to know the correct amount and timing of applying water to their crops, since it has been observed that they are irrigating their crops in an unsustainable way and, for all months of the year the water demand of the main crops of economic interest of the Green Belt Project was determined, providing important data to assist technicians and producers in the management of irrigation of these crops.

This study is part of the Agrio et Emulsio - New products development project. The product innovation results from the addition of processed yellow or red capsicum peppers to water-in-oil emulsions of vegetable origin. Eight formulations of spreadable creams were developed, evaluated by an untrained tasters' panel, being selected two final prototypes, spreadable cream of braised yellow pepper and roasted red pepper. Microbiological, nutritional and sensorial analyzes, and pH determination were performed. These innovative products have shown nutritional advantages regarding similar products already on the market. The final prototypes were subjected to food pairing & food design and their evaluation was very favorable, their taste was considered very pleasant, good spreadability and, in addition to their direct use, suitable for gastronomic applications.
