SUMMARY:

Knowing the productive processes based on Agroecology is a way to understand current practices of environmental awareness and the reality of Environmental Education from a transforming, emancipatory and critical perspective. Such productive processes in this ongoing Study, have in the productive backyards of the residents of the neighborhood of Nova Cabrália, municipality of Santa Cruz de Cabrália-BA, environments capable of articulating environmental problems generated in the neighborhood and in the city, in line with public policies of environmental education of the municipality. The agroecological productive backyard plays a fundamental role in this legal field, as it integrates agroecology as a science into the concept of environmental education, whose focus is to consistently confront local and planetary environmental degradation, as it includes the local community, the domestic group, which generate identity and cohesion in a social network. Furthermore, it demonstrates different guidelines for sustainable, healthy agricultural cultivation from an environmental point of view. Backyards are areas around houses, and assist in various day-to-day activities. They allow the cultivation of arboreal, fruitful, vegetable and ornamental species and animal husbandry. It rescues traditional and ancestral knowledge, having in its logic the cultivation and reproduction of Creole seeds, of medicinal plants, which interact with the production of varieties that provide fruit, along with flowers. There is also the incorporation of small animals, such as: poultry, pigs, sheep and goats. Thus, productive backyards are diversified production units, biodiversity conservation and environmental preservation. Whose knowledge built through Action-Reflection between Researchers and Researcher, comprises environmental as well as social and historical issues, direct community relations with natural resources (water, soil, forest), appreciation of dialogue and participatory methodologies in the search for resolution of environmental challenges that favor the neighborhood community. A perspective that Critical Environmental Education also defends, as well as the appreciation of knowledge and popular manifestations and not just scientific knowledge. In this direction, this Research formulated the following question: How do agroecological productive backyards constitute spaces that promote critical environmental education? This question is relevant, since it is directly associated with the knowledge constructed collectively among the research participants and collectively they are also modified or articulated with each other. As well as revealing their own perceptions and raising their levels of cooperation and participation in the transformation of reality. Thus achieving a close affinity of actions with the resolution of environmental challenges. In this way, Action Research, as a qualitative methodological resource, promotes adequate and precise support for the Study. Therefore, it enables researches to be more efficient and prepared in responding to these challenges. Through this understanding, this research also aims to deepen knowledge about the process of community involvement in the creation of agroecological productive backyards, in relation to the municipal public policy of environmental education, and to contribute to its theoretical and methodological improvement in the municipality of Santa Cruz de Cabrália-BA.
