Abstract

Objective: To point out the relations of the organic garden in the school environment and the student's approach to the environment in health promotion. Bibliographic Review: The school is the environment that brings students closer to many areas of knowledge, one of which is the environment and its importance for human life. Within this theme, the food issue is extracted, which strongly influences the student's health. The organic garden at school is one of the tools for greater engagement in health, since organic food reduces the risk of future diseases, which are caused by pesticides. Having a vegetable garden at school and including the student in the activity of planting, harvesting and clarifying the benefits of eating well, is in addition to a strong economic activity, an activity for transmitting to society how to eat well and how much it can increase quality and life expectancy. Final Considerations: It is understood that the organic garden at school works as a didactic tool to transmit healthy activities to society, in addition to allowing more sustainable ways of producing food, without causing damage to the environment.
