Análise do papel de educação ambiental no processo de tratamento de água residuais da depenação de frangos na empresa Mozambique Farms Lda

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyse the role of environmental education in the process of treating waste water from chicken plucking at Mozambique Farms Lda. The research used a qualitative approach and non-probabilistic convenience sampling. The data collection techniques were systematic observation and semi-structured interviews. Bardin's (2006) content analysis technique consisted of pre-analysis, exploration of the material and treatment of the results. The results of this study led to the conclusion that there is complete non-compliance in the wastewater treatment process, Since the procedures currently adopted in the company only separate the waste water from the chicken feathers, the water is then channelled directly beyond the company's walls without undergoing any prior treatment. With regard to environmental education programmes, the study concluded that there is no environmental education programme that is awareness-raising process for employees in the field of wastewater treatment in the company. What does exist in the company is a programme for cleaning the water used for slaughtering and raising awareness among workers about the working environment (processing line). line). We therefore recommend that Mozambique Farms Lda: a) strictly comply with the waste water treatment process; b) create an environmental education programme for employees who deal with the wastewater treatment process.(TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
