RESUMOO artigo problematiza o ensino de agroecologia na perspectiva da educação e da conscientização ambiental com aporte na Constituição Federal de 1988 (CF/88), especificamente no art. 225. Assume, como ponto de partida, a crítica do paradigma antropocêntrico, o qual, entre outros aspectos, trata a natureza como ‘recurso a ser explorado’. Na primeira parte, se busca uma contextualização e análise do conceito de agroecologia e a caracterização dos aspectos socioambientais. Em seguida, se realiza uma análise da normativa referente à agroecologia, com aporte na CF/88, no Decreto Federal nº 7.794/2012, que institui a Política Nacional de Agroecologia e Produção Orgânica, e na Lei Federal nº 10.831/2003, que dispõe sobre a agricultura orgânica. Na terceira parte, se discute o ensino de agroecologia, inserido numa concepção de educação e conscientização ambiental, a partir da abordagem da ecologia de saberes como perspectiva epistemológica, e da crítica do paradigma antropocêntrico, cujas características estão presentes no texto constitucional e cuja superação é necessária para a concretização do disposto no art. 225, §1º, VI, da CF/88.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Agroecologia; Educação Ambiental; Constituição Federal de 1988; Ecologia de Saberes; Paradigma Antropocêntrico.ABSTRACTThe article discusses the teaching of agroecology from the perspective of education and environmental awareness based on the Federal Constitution of 1988 (CF / 88), specifically in art. 225. It takes as its starting point the critique of the anthropocentric paradigm, which, among other things, treats nature as a 'resource to be explored'. In the first part, we seek a contextualization and analysis of the concept of agroecology and the characterization of socioenvironmental aspects. Then, an analysis of the regulation on agroecology is performed, based on CF / 88, Federal Decree No. 7,794 / 2012, which establishes the National Policy on Agroecology and Organic Production, and Federal Law No. 10,831 / 2003, which provides about organic farming. The third part discusses the teaching of agroecology, inserted in a conception of education and environmental awareness, from the approach of the ecology of knowledge as an epistemological perspective, and from the critique of the anthropocentric paradigm, whose characteristics are present in the constitutional text and whose overcoming is. necessary for the implementation of the provisions of art. 225, §1, VI, of CF / 88.KEYWORDS: Agroecology; Environmental education; Federal Constitution of 1988; Ecology of Knowledge; Anthropocentric Paradigm.

The loss of genetic diversity due to the replacement of local tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) varieties by improved cultivars has been mitigated in many cases by the good work of organic farmers in maintaining local agricultural biodiversity. In parallel to these initiatives, in recent years, consumers have developed an increasing awareness of both food-related health, environmental issues, and food demand to recover the flavors of the past. In the case of tomatoes, these attributes (nutritional, organoleptic, social, and environmental) are closely related to organic production using local varieties. “Malacara” tomato is an example of a local variety. Coming from Sierra de Cádiz, it is a varietal type called “Cuelga” (“for hanging,” because the tomato trusses are hung from beams in the farmhouses). Cultivated and harvested in the open air during the summer months, these tomatoes are commercialized and consumed in the winter. Historically, this variety has enabled the fresh consumption of tomatoes during the winter, without the need to force cultivation. It is highly appreciated in the local cuisine and is the basis for sauces figuring in typical dishes. Its characteristic traits are small, pallid fruits, and long shelf life. The main objective of this work has been to typify two Malacara tomato cultivars (red and yellow color) grown under organic farming conditions, through the characterization of morphological, nutritional, and volatile parameters. The main differences are due to morphological parameters (fruit weight and color of the exocarp and endocarp). Other characteristics such as the content of ash, fiber, moisture, the concentration of iron, magnesium, and calcium, and content of lycopene are different between both cultivars. This study provides information on the nutritional and aromatic composition of two Malacara tomato cultivars, differentiated by their color and grown under organic farming conditions. The results add value to the native horticultural heritage and can aid in the selection of tomato varieties suitable for a sustainable production system and to produce tomatoes with high nutritional value and rich in aroma.

The goal of this research was to review the literature dedicated to barriers to the development of the organic production system. As an agricultural system combining economic and environmental objectives, organic farming has gained social acceptance. The growth of consumer interest in organic food is indicative of this. Public funds play an important role in the development of organic farming, encouraging the transition from a traditional to an organic system of farming. However, a reduced rate of growth of the number of organic farms and even a return to conventional production methods is being observed. Such farmer behavior is taking place in many EU countries. Analysis was conducted based on the results of studies conducted until now and mass statistical data. The results of analysis indicate that organic farming is encountering numerous development barriers. These are barriers related to management, market and cultural barriers, as well as barriers linked to national policy and technology. Social support for the development of organic production is also significant. There is, therefore, a need to identify barriers and adopt a strategy to support organic farming. Limiting these barriers will contribute to broadening the food offer that contains high nutritional values and encompasses the concept of environmental protection.

This research paper aims to understand the existing relationship between responsible communication as a new vision and ecological citizenship as an environmental, social and development demand for institutions, to confront the growing environmental problems, and the stakes they carry with them that constitute a real challenge to all countries of the world, including Algeria. So we aim at this work, to highlight responsible communication as a basis for building a working ground that takes into account the environmental and social aspects, in order to establish the values of ecological citizenship and to devote participation in the promotion and improvement of environmental awareness to achieve sustainable growth that respects the environment and takes into account its capabilities. The paper concluded that responsible communication is a solid strategic approach to building a coherent environmental awareness that is a starting point for bringing out an effective ecological citizen, and it is also one of the most effective mechanisms in rationalizing individuals' dealings with the environment and its issues, within the framework of what we can call environmental education

ABSTRACT Organic farming requires the production or use of certified seeds from the same cultivation system and, the information of potato cultivars adapted to organic production system is important. The objective of this work was to study the feasibility of utilizing sprouts of different potato cultivars, seed multiplication and yield potential in field conditions without using agrochemicals. Three experiments were conducted: the first experiment using sprouts as seed under protected cultivation in Guarapuava, Paraná State, Brazil, from November 2011 to February 2012; the second experiment was field conducted in Candói, Paraná State, from May to September 2012 and the third experiment was field conducted in Guarapuava, Paraná State, from February to May 2013. The experimental design was a randomized block design with 3 replications in all 3 experiments. In the 2 first experiments the following cultivars were evaluated: BRS Ana, BRS Clara, BRS Eliza, Crystal and Catucha, and in the last experiment Agata, Bintje, Baronesa and BRSIPR Bel were included. The traits analyzed were length of main stem, number of stems, number of leaves, fresh weight and number of tubers, percentage of infection by viruses and in the second experiment the incidence of late blight on leaves. In the third experiment, leaf area index (LAI), tuber, leaves and stem dry weights and late blight severity were also analyzed. In the first experiment, the cultivars showed differences in plant height and minituber production, the highest value was observed in cultivars BRS Clara and BRS Ana for plant height and cultivar BRS Clara for minituber production. In the second experiment, there was difference only in plant height, the tallest cultivars were BRS Ana and BRS Clara . There was low spread of viruses and, it did not directly reflect in tuber yield. In the third experiment the cultivars with lower disease severity were those recommended to organic farming, especially BRS Clara and Catucha; this second cultivar had the higher LAI and tuber yield, as well as resistance to late blight, factors that might have contributed to the recorded highest total tuber yield (13.8 t/ha).

Introduction Nowadays noise remains the third largest cause of environmental pollution on Earth. It appears that despite the existing noise control legislation the issue deserves further supervision by the public authorities so that the ceilings established for the various activities are observed. People exposed to noise are more likely to develop numerous auditory and non-auditory problems directly impacting persona family and working life. Objectives The objective of this study is to research and consequently understand how the population of students of a youth and adult school in Curitiba perceives noise pollution as well as look into the actions that the school adopts in order to guide the students on the topic. Method We applied a structured questionnaire to 120 individuals and assessed the following variables: characterization of the place of residence occupation leisure health and perception of soundscapes. We also applied a closed questionnaire about educational actions for noise pollution to the school's geography teacher. Results Questionnaire responses show that people perceive noise in the most diverse environments they frequent and are able to identify the source of the noise but this perception proved fragile as the majority does not take measures to prevent or mitigate these noises. At school there are no actions aimed at environmental education on the subject studied. Conclusion The studied group does not perceive the noise as a harmful agent and does not prevent themselves from it and the school not work contents related to noise pollution leaving a significant gap in the awareness process of this population.

Since its evolution environment has remained both a matter of awe and concern to man. The frontier attitude of the industrialized society towards nature has not only endangered the survival of all other life forms but also threatened the very existence of human life. The realization of such potential danger has necessitated the dissemination of knowledge and skill vis-a-vis environment protection at all stages of learning. Therefore, learners of all stages of learning need to be sensitized with a missionary zeal. This may ensure transformation of students into committed citizens for averting global environment crisis. The advancement of science and technology made the life more and more relaxed and man also became more and more ambitious. With such development, human dependence on environment increased. He consumed more resources and the effect of his activities on the environment became more and more detectable. Environment covers all the things present around the living beings and above the land, on the surface of the earth and under the earth. Environment indicates, in total, all of peripheral forces, pressures and circumstances, which affect the life, nature, behaviour, growth, development and maturation of living beings. Irrational exploitation (not utilization) of natural resources for our greed (not need) has endangered our survival, and incurred incalculable harm. Environmental Education is a science, a well-thought, permanent, lasting and integrated process of equipping learning experiences for getting awareness, knowledge, understanding, skills, values, technical expertise and involvement of learners with desirable attitudinal changes about their relationship with their natural and biophysical environment. Environmental Education is an organized effort to educate the masses about environment, its functions, need, importance, and especially how human beings can manage their behaviour in order to live in a sustainable manner.  The term 'environmental awareness' refers to creating general awareness of environmental issues, their causes by bringing about changes in perception, attitude, values and necessary skills to solve environment related problems. Moreover, it is the first step leading to the formation of responsible environmental behaviour (Stern, 2000). With the ever increasing development by modern man, large scale degradation of natural resources have been occurred, the public has to be educated about the fact that if we are degrading our environment we are actually harming ourselves. To encourage meaningful public participation and environment, it is necessary to create awareness about environment pollution and related adverse effects. This is the crucial time that environmental awareness and environmental sensitivity should be cultivated among the masses particularly among youths. For the awareness of society it is essential to work at a gross root level. So the whole society can work to save the environment.

Starting Point

Council of Chalcedon is an actual closing point for Christology and a starting point for anthropology. Behind the teachings of the Council of Chalcedon,together with later clarifications added by the Second and the Third Councils of Constantinople, there were centuries of dispute between the School of Alexandria and the School of Antioch about the person and natures of Christ (4th/5th – 7th centuries). Therefore the light shed on the man by patristic Christology concerns understanding of his being a person and his nature. The analysis of the Council’s teachings of faith shows that these two concepts belong to two different areas which means that every man, following the man Jesus, is a person whose dignity is on a different level than his natural features (mind, will, consciousness, etc.) – in other words, it originates from transcendence. Simultaneously, person is a relational reality because it puts a man in a relation with God in which the nature can be improved, the nature whose essence – since it was adopted by Logos – is to be capax Dei, or ability to grow in following Christ.

The main objective is an interpretation of the island parody, in particular a logical reconstruction of the parodying argument that stays close to the text. The parodied reasoning is identified as the proof in the second chapter of the Proslogion, more specifically, this proof as it is represented by Gaunilo in the first chapter of his Liber pro insipiente. The second task is a detailed comparison between parodied and parodying argument as well as an account of their common structure. The third objective is a tentative characterization of the nature and function of parodies of arguments. It seems that parodying does not add new pertinent points of view to the usual criticism of an argument.

Protein Feed

The expediency of fusarium resistant lupines usage in organic farming for improving soil fertility and producing high protein feed for livestock is justified in this article. Organic production excludes the use of mineral fertilizers and pesticides. In these circumstances, increases the value of cultures that positively affect the fertility of soils and their phytosanitary status. These crops include annual fodder lupine (yellow, white and angustifolia), especially varieties that are resistant to disease. Having the highest nitrogen-fixing ability among annual legume crops, lupins, depending on the type and conditions of cultivation, can accumulate from 80 to 300 kg/ha of environmentally pure symbiotic nitrogen in biomass. Plowing the green mass (30-45 t/ha) is equivalent to the corresponding amount of manure or introduction of 5-7 t/ha of ammonium nitrate. 30 kg/ha of phosphorus and 50 kg/ha of potassium are entering the soil with plant remains. Therefore, lupine provides itself with nutrients and still leaves up to 150 kg/ha of nitrogen in the soil after harvesting for subsequent crops in crop rotation. In organic production, fusariosis resistant varieties of lupines are also interesting as a source of high protein feeds for livestock. They are building up to 60 t/ha of biomass, which contains more than one ton of digestible protein. In grain of the fodder varieties contains 40-52% of crude protein, 5.5-6.0% of fat, 10-12% of sugar. The characteristic of fusarium resistant varieties of lupins (yellow, white and angustifolia), created in the NSC "Institute of Agriculture NAAS" and included in the Register of Plant Varieties of Ukraine is presented in this article. These varieties are practically not affected by fusariosis under the production conditions and do not require the use of fungicides during the growing season. They can be grown in crop rotation with a return period of 2-3 years, whereas for unstable it took 6-7 years. Because of the inability to use in organic farming fungicide to prevent crop losses from anthracnose, it is necessary to use predominantly angustifolia lupine varieties, which are now more tolerant to this disease, prevent sowing of infected seeds and adhere to crop rotation. Fusarium-resistant varieties of lupins are suitable for cultivation in poucous and sown crops, and in mixtures with other crops.
