The environmental dimension from the educational potential of its contents

Abstract

The goal of the article is to design a system of methodological workshops for addressing the environmental dimension by taking advantage of the educational potential offered by the content on soil and water resource management in the Agroindustrial Process Engineering program at the Agrarian University of Havana, Rodríguez Pérez, Mayabeque, Cuba. The content covered relates to: soil as a renewable natural resource, its ecological importance, the limiting factors for agricultural productivity of soil, soil and water conservation and improvement measures, and water as a renewable natural resource, along with its sustainable use. Educational potentials are proposed for each topic, making it easier to apply in the classroom and providing a meaningful contribution to the environmental education of future Agroindustrial Process Engineers.
