Scientific Dissemination and Environmental Education Focusing …

the aerobic bio-oxidation process, which uses organic residues to generate a nutrient
rich compound, through the action of decomposing microorganisms, which act under
controlled conditions of temperature, humidity, pH, among other parameters. The
product generated has the potential to increase agricultural productivity by reducing
or even eliminating the use of industrialized fertilizers (MMA 2008).
Thus, it is important to disseminate scientific technical materials such as booklets and manuals presenting a more easily understandable language. This kind of
dissemination is as a way to stimulate the knowledge of this biotechnology.
The incentive to scientific dissemination of composting as a sustainable practice
in institutional environments has been gaining prominence, especially in relation to
the actions that lead to the diversion of solid organic waste from landfills and dumps.
This practice involves the awareness of employees, associates, and students through
workshops and lectures that are related to the dissemination of the technique (Korres
et al. 2013; Costa et al. 2016).
Different pieces of research carried out in educational institutions are very important because they bring with them the possibility of their use as tools for the development of broader actions that seek the establishment of sustainability in terms of
organic solid waste management. In this context, the use of these instruments can
leverage a more agile and innovative change process, as well as being closer to daily
life, with greater potential for positive results.
The possibility of composting implementation in a domestic environment and in
environments such as schools, public squares, research institutions and higher education among others, combines the pedagogical component as one of the dimensions
to enhance alternatives that favor an education more committed to sustainable results
(Chassot 2003).
In this context, the present study aimed to report the scenario of the production of
scientific dissemination material highlighting the main contributions and challenges
focused on the valorization of organic solid waste through composting, especially
coffee grounds, in the implementation of objectives 4 and 11 of the UN 2030 Agenda.
2 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable
Development Goals (SDG)—An Agenda
for Transforming the Relationship Between Man
and Nature
Two important documents developed by the United Nations reinforce and contribute
to the discussion on global environmental issues: the eight Millennium Development
Goals, established in 2000 (UN 2000), and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals
developed during the years 2013 to 2015 (UNDP 2015). All these objectives seek to
put into practice local actions as a focus on the social, economic, and environmental
pillars, which are the foundation of sustainable development.
