Abstract

The present work arises from the experiences lived in the curricular internship in social work carried out at the Sociedade Espírita Luz no Caminho Dr. Fernando do Ó. This is an exploratory research of theoretical and bibliographic nature. The general objective of the research is to value organic food as a food security device for the user families of the Society. For this, the Project involves a diagnosis of educational actions and organic food and institution, which is located in the city of Santa Maria, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, with a coordinator, multiprofessional team and volunteers. It highlighted the organic diet, which is present in school meals; however, there is no record of health and nutrition education actions. Food is content in the Science discipline; however, the themes of food, health and nutrition arise without prior planning. The children's assessment of food is positive; however, organic foods were not judged, however, Multiprofessionals and volunteers reflected on the need to develop health education, organic food and nutrition actions with the school community. It was concluded that the use of organic food is not yet part of the educational project of the institution, the foundation of organic food provides opportunities for low-income families to produce their own products, especially spices and vegetables. That is why the project was implemented and a community suspended garden was developed.
