Interaction in agrarian educational environments in the province of Buenos Aires

Abstract

When considering the aspects affecting the family agroindustrial productive sector, in 2015 an outreach project was developed, which aimed at providing teachers and students from agricultural schools with procedural tools. The objective was to enable them not only to ensure the quality of the food they produced, but also to help them become a local actor in spreading knowledge of family craft production of food. The direct beneficiaries of the project were the teachers and students of agricultural schools. The dynamics of work was designed so as to encourage learning the principles of food safety and its formalization in standard operating procedures. The methodological technique of workshop was applied to obtain a tangible product that proved to be useful for the teachers and students. Outreach activities were carried out locally in order to achieve the goal of knowledge sharing. The project made it possible to provide knowledge on food safety, contributing with guidelines to follow in manufacturing practices. Additionally, the process favored the interaction between institutions together with the achievement of a common goal and local dissemination of knowledge.
