A poem to the soil 



A poem to the soil








Goretti Albuquerque


If you feel so weak
Thinking in giving up
Ask the human being to be aware
And try to improve everything
Save its nutrients
That they're trying to take away

Earth that gives us plenty
That put the food on the table
That feed so many people  
It requires our knowledge
From the human beings 


Leaving her in oblivion

Ask for nature
To be compassionate with you
And teach human beings not to be its enemy
Who takes of you, your livelihood
But it is a perverted being

Soils of the brazilian savanas
Punished by drought
Wait, the rain is coming
Pretty soon, do not forget.




The little buttons in bloom
They will sprout, you will not fade away

Sprouts the weed
Also the lilies of the field
Covers the grass and all the earth
With sparkle and charm
If the human kind does not take care of you
Your tears will soon come

The birth of our project





















 Hello guys!   Starting the activities of this blog, nothing more fair than a presentation about who we are and what we want!    The research project on Soil Education, started in the Department of Geography of USP, under the initiative of Prof. Dr. Déborah de Oliveira in 2010. At the beginning there was only one student who started the research, in 2011 another 3 students joined us, constituting our group.  Soil education is often forgotten in schools, or treated in a simple way, which can generate students disinterest. We will disseminate in this space the results of our research, guidance to teachers, experiments and exchange of experiences for soil education, after all it is a finite natural resource, as many others that must be respected and preserved.   Beyond academic research we want to disseminate and make accessible materials and teaching methods that help teachers, students, and even other researchers in Soil Education. We will do this by addressing the subject of soil in a

 WHAT IS SOIL?     Soils are complex mixtures of minerals, water, air, organic matter, and countless organisms that are the decaying remains of once-living things. It forms at the surface of land – it is the “skin of the earth.” Soil is capable of supporting plant life and is vital to life on earth.  Soil, as formally defined in the Soil Science Society of America Glossary of Soil Science Terms, is:   The unconsolidated mineral or organic material on the immediate surface of the earth that serves as a natural medium for the growth of land plants.  The unconsolidated mineral or organic matter on the surface of the earth that has been subjected to and shows effects of genetic and environmental factors of: climate (including water and temperature effects), and macro- and microorganisms, conditioned by relief, acting on parent material over a period of time.    So then, what is dirt? Dirt is what gets on our clothes or under our fingernails. It is soil that is out of place in our world – w
