Water Consumption in Chicken, Milk and Swine Production in the Municipality of Francisco Beltrão - SO PR: A Proposal for Environmental Education in Geography Lessons

Abstract

Research carried out on the consumption of water for Brazilian agricultural production shows that this information is not very accessible to producers. Similarly, research on environmental education (EA) shows that the work done in schools has little relation to local reality (OPOLSKY, 2015; SEGALA, 2017). It was considered appropriate to conduct and disseminate research on water consumption for the production of poultry, pigs and milk in Francisco Beltrão / SO-PR. Such estimates provide insight into the existing demands for water use, as well as providing mechanisms for questions about the gratuitousness of natural resources for large productive chains, without there being any counterpart to the environmental conservation of the small properties from which these resources are withdrawn, Showing the socio-environmental role of geography teaching and EE.
