Abstract

The School Farm project is in its fifth year of execution, having as a pillar the partnership signed between Chácara Marajá and UFR. This place has been used for the development of teaching, research and extension activities. Currently, it has an apiary and eight nurseries for fish production, which are being used for field days, research and family farming development activities. The objective of the project for 2025 was to promote field days focused on training rural producers, participation in agricultural fairs, and academic weeks and high schools to bring knowledge beyond the university and disseminate the project's actions. The results of these actions were the organization of two field days that took place at Chácara Marajá, aimed at training rural producers in beekeeping and fish farming. Lectures and practical activities were also held within the same theme, at the UFR 2025 Course Exhibition, at the Major Otávio Pitaluga State School and at the Home for the Elderly. The organization of the events was conducted by students who were part of the project, as was their participation in practical field activities. This type of action has a significant effect on the training of students, as it allows them to experience the day-to-day life of family farms and apply in practice the knowledge acquired in the classroom. It also affects social transformation, considering that extension activity, through rural training, contributes to increasing the quality of life of rural families.
