Desafios para implementação de hortas escolares em escolas publicas de Trindade/Go

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the main factors that inhibit the implementation of garden projects in public schools in the city of Trindade-GO. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Questionnaires were applied to six public schools in Trindade - GO and two managers of education and agronomy in the state of Goiás. The results showed that two schools had only two schools, one had and three had no project of vegetable garden nowadays. One of the main obstacles faced by schools to maintain and / or develop a garden project is based on obtaining financial resources. It was concluded that in spite of the benefits derived from the school gardens and the existence of a vegetable garden project by the National Fund for Education Development (FNDE), there are no specific financial resources for the maintenance of school gardens and if the school wants to set up a garden, it should request support from municipal managers, prepare a letter to the state education office or have its own financial resources or other support for garden maintenance.
