Dissertação do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia, Gestão de Processos, Sistemas e Ambiental (EGPSA), Instituto de Tecnologia e Educação Galileo da Amazônia (ITEGAM), Manaus, 2021.https://rigalileo.itegam.org.br/handle/123456789/28School institutions are producers of organic waste as a result of the daily consumption of school meals and inadequate disposal has become a problem for the Environment. Given this scenario, the project proposed the reuse of organic substances, avoiding their incorrect disposal. Therefore, the feasibility of the low-cost composting model, reusing material from school meals, generating humus, became viable for the production of fertilizer, enabling the implementation of vegetable gardens in rural schools. The research aimed to develop a composting model for schools through the reuse of organic waste, contributing to the correct disposal of waste from schools and fulfilled the other objectives by conducting a low-cost production of substances humic and mineral nutrients in the creation of gardens; prepare a Manual with guidelines for the correct and sustainable management of composting and the school garden and implement the garden system through the composting process using organic waste from the school. The work was a case study with on-site visits, having as a method the manufacture of composters, the preparation of the school garden, socioeducational lectures and the creation of a manual with instructions for the correct handling of food leftovers. The research results demonstrated the effectiveness and importance of composting for the reuse of organic food and fertilizer in school gardens. The proposed project raised the interest of students and teachers in environmental education at school and in changing their behavior in view of the need to preserve the environment.pdf.Resíduos orgânicosReutilizaçãoComposteiraHorta escolarDissertação5.03.00.00-8 Engenharia Agrícola
