Extensão em aquacultura: o exemplo da produção de peixe no assentamento de reforma agrária 26 de outubro

Abstract

The work was carried out based on the demands of the community in partnership with the Veterinary School of UFMG. Initially, a mini-course of fish farming and meetings was held to seek protagonism for producers in decision-making. Aquaculture production was carried between 2015 and 2017. There were 17 visits, 13 meetings, 2 training courses, 6 practical classes and 1 exchange event between communities. There were 1,550 kg of tilapia at the average sale price of R$ 8,73. The collection was converted into inputs for the adhesion of four new families to the project. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the University Extension for learning in Aquaculture, strengthening family farming and the income aggregation for the producer from small investments and practices of collective social mobilization.
