| Sumario: | This article proposes to carry out, from the discipline of ethnoscience, a family cultural investigation, through the reports of women who are grandmothers, on the theme of domestic composting. According to their narration, the practice of mixing food leftovers in the soil, animal manure, ashes from a wood stove, was a knowledge gained since childhood, and that was passed from generation to generation. Bibliographic research was carried out to analyze the theme of composting, associating it with ethnoknowledge based on popular knowledge. The theme presents possibilities to be explored in educational environments, being a way of valuing empirical knowledge combined with science, since it involves contemporary issues such as environmental awareness and sustainability. The article also presents an alternative way to explore the theme through the interdisciplinarity between chemistry and biology, discharging the current fragmented teaching between disciplines. |
