There is an understanding of the importance of food for intellectual growth and for the cognitive development of the individual. For this reason, with the aim of encouraging and guiding students and their families on the advantages of adequate and healthy food for improving quality of life, as well as the production of scientific knowledge, work was carried out in Geography classes through the cultivation of a school garden. To this end, various activities were carried out with 5th grade students from a municipal school in Marechal Cândido Rondon, Paraná, which involved interaction between students, parents and other members of the school community, aimed at forming values and knowledge about agroecology with a view to food education. As a result, it was possible to discuss sustainable practices, preparing the beds, using organic fertilizer and recyclable materials to plant vegetable seedlings, medicinal herbs and spices, among other things. It was considered that with effort and unity, the educational intervention was successfully developed, enabling a new vision of agroecology, environmental conservation, healthy eating and quality of life.
