Due to great inequality in the distribution of the world income, it is possible that the social classes economically disfavored do not have access to foods in quantity and quality neces-sary to maintain their daily nutritional demands. There is the necessity of sustainable growth in the production of foods, under penalty of compromising the ecosystem even more. Environmental Education (EE), when situated in a broad context, the one of education for citizenship of people worried about environment and sustainability of ecosystems, constitutes of an important element to consolidate the development of real citizens and, certainly Environmental Education is one of the best tools to put into practice the changes in behavior, which will contribute to the preserva-tion of environment and maintain life quality. The objective of this study was to identify how EE has been treated in its different forms in the Rural Science Center (CCR) of the Federal University of Santa Maria with an approach focused on the course of Zootechny. The research was developed with the use of qualitative and quantitative tools of data collection, gathering characteristics of exploratory and descriptive nature to measure how EE is inserted in the CCR at UFSM, pointing conditions, challenges and perspectives to the amplification of its inclusion in the professional education. With this study there was the possibility of verifying how EE is present in the CCR at UFSM. It was possible to establish that there are many ways connected to the EE in the CCR, those which take environmental education to CCR under different perspectives. It is possible to glimpse that if there is the relation between formal education, non-formal and informal education, the totality represents a satisfactory balance of EE in the CCR. For that, however, it is necessary that the already existing aspects expand, new initiatives aimed at EE appear, and that there is a valori-zation of EE in the curricula of the courses belonging to CCR.Downloads

Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The REMOA is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
