This gave rise to the idea of raising awareness of this activity through an extension project entitled „Getting to Know Frog Farming and the CCHSA/UFPB‟, which aims to promote frog farming as well as the technical and undergraduate courses offered by the institution. This study follows a four-stage structure. The first stage involved organizing the material to be used during the visits and preparing a PowerPoint presentation on frog farming. The second stage involved planning and carrying out an „active outreach‟ campaign to the target audience, comprising students from state and municipal institutions located in the municipalities of Solânea and Bananeiras in Paraíba. The third stage involved organizing the booking records for the visits so that they did not overlap on the same day. Finally, the fourth stage of the project consisted of hosting the visits themselves, followed by the administration of a questionnaire of great importance for the improvement of the project itself. Visitors spent some time in the classroom for the theoretical part on the frog farming production chain, including with the aid of information leaflets on the courses; after that, they were taken to the production area to see frog farming in practice and, on some occasions, to take part in the meat processing. It became evident that the activities to promote raniculture through the extension programmed facilitated the assimilation of academic content through practical experience. The diversity of the audiences served enriched the process, fostering the development of interpersonal skills among those involved. Consequently, the project consolidated the professional and personal growth of the extension student intern, serving as an essential step towards their future career, whilst also promoting frog farming in the Brazilian Northeast.

This study aimed to evaluate microbial activity in five land use and management systems in the Brejo Microregion of Paraíba, Brazil. The study was conducted in five land use systems: a forest area, an agroforestry system (AFS), an organic vegetable production area (mandala), a forage cactus monoculture, and a degraded area, all located at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), Center for Human, Social and Agricultural Sciences, Campus III, Bananeiras, Paraíba, Brazil. Microbial activity was estimated by quantifying carbon dioxide (CO₂) released during the soil respiration process and captured using a KOH solution. Soil CO₂ emissions were significantly higher during the daytime than during the nighttime in all evaluated land use systems. No statistically significant differences were observed among the treatments during the nighttime period. The agroforestry system (AFS) showed the highest CO₂ emission, followed by the mandala system, degraded area, forage cactus monoculture, and forest, respectively, with a 57.79% difference between the highest and lowest values. Climatic factors, such as precipitation and temperature, influenced the decomposition dynamics and the CO₂ emissions released by soil microorganisms.

Autor(es): Silva, Edna Oliveira da Orientador: Alencar, Isabelle da Costa Wanderley Abstract: In contemporary education, the fragmentation of knowledge among disciplines remains a challenge for building meaningful learning. Interdisciplinarity emerges as an alternative capable of integrating knowledge and promoting a broader and more critical view of reality. This study investigated the contribution of interdisciplinary integration between Portuguese and Chemistry to the academic development of first-year students in the Technical Course in Agroindustry at Colégio Agrícola Vidal de Negreiros. The research, descriptive in nature and with a qualitative-quantitative approach, involved 21 students and two teachers, and was carried out through bibliographic review, questionnaires, systematic classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. The pedagogical intervention was organized in two stages: analysis of the poem Psicologia de um Vencido by Augusto dos Anjos in Portuguese classes, highlighting scientific vocabulary and grammatical categories; and deepening the concept of atoms in Chemistry classes, using audiovisual resources and the Kahoot platform. The results revealed significant advances in grammatical and scientific understanding, such as the increase from 93.66% to 100% accuracy in distinguishing nouns and adjectives, and from 38.1% to 57.14% in atomic models. Students’ perception of interdisciplinarity also showed remarkable growth, rising from 42.86% to 95.24% agreement. It is concluded that the interdisciplinary approach enhances learning, promotes connections between traditionally separated areas, and contributes to overcoming curricular fragmentation, fostering a more critical, integrated, and meaningful view of reality. It is recommended that similar practices be expanded to other educational contexts, strengthening the articulation between theory and practice.

Firstly, we will provide a historical contextualization of the relationship between the changes on the planet and the emergence and evolution of agriculture. Next, we will address the emergence of so-called "alternative agriculture" as a resistance movement against conventional agriculture, especially following the impact caused by the Green Revolution. In this context, Syntropic Agriculture emerges, a recent agricultural practice created by Ernst Götsch. In opposition to the concept of “entropy” from Physics (tendency and measure of disorder and unpredictability), Götsch adopts the concept of Syntropy as the main characteristic of his agricultural conception and practice (as it refers to the function of organization, order and predictability within of a system that goes from simple to complex, converging and concentrating energy, metabolizing the complexity of life). The principles, characteristics, and practices of Syntropic Agriculture will then be addressed, not as a package of recipes, or linear, artificial instructions, but rather as a logic, as an understanding that guides the application of methods for implementation and management of processes of complexification, where the elements are all interconnected as a whole – the circular chain of life. This approach implies that the farmer, and everyone dive into the interconnectivity that underlies life processes, and as a force that generates ecological awareness, capable of mobilizing changes in the course of the history of our planet.
