Item Impacto socioeconômico da compostagem doméstica em uma comunidade indígena no município de Baía da Traição/PB(2022-10-10) Padilha, Francis Bezerra; Silva, Robson José; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7515677435963888; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7935712126036066The generation of waste, of all its typologies, represents a problem for the whole society, not being restricted only to Brazil. Its disposal and destination have been objects of study, in order to minimize and/or solve the impacts caused by the mismanagement of these wastes. Organic matter represents a large portion of urban solid waste in Brazil and, therefore, its treatment is essential for the reduction of material to be sent to landfills or to another destination. An environmentally correct destination is the use of organic fertilizer resulting from composting in agriculture. Thus, the present study sought to evaluate the socioeconomic impact of home composting in an indigenous community in the municipality of Baía da Traição/PB. The residues used in the process were cassava peel and dry cashew leaves in a C/N ratio of 30:1. The resulting organic fertilizer was used in the planting of lettuce, reaching the production of 350 feet in one cycle; and a sales profit of R$1050.00 reais. This practice can strengthen and promote local development in the indigenous community, making the circular economy from agriculture. On the other hand, the work sought to influence the environmental awareness of the population by offering a lecture on the importance of home composting in the social context. In this way, the positive impact of composting on the community was observed, either in the financial aspect or in the educational aspect.
