Abstract

Although the consumption of animal products is significant, many consumers, especially those living in urban centers, are unaware of the origin of these products and the processes they go through until they reach their tables. Started in 2016 in Santarém, PA, the “Where do they come from?” project aims to share knowledge about the origin of food and the associated production chain with the community in the region, especially in urban areas with no direct connection to agricultural production. From July 2023 to June 2024, the project was conducted by students from the Zootechnics, Agronomy, Biotechnology and Biology courses, with the support and guidance of UFOPA's teaching and technical staff. The outreach activities were aimed at three groups: students and teachers from basic education, students from public and private higher education institutions in the region, and elderly people taking part in physical activities at the Basic Health Units in Santarém, PA. By involving different age groups and educational levels, the project not only contributed to the students' academic training, but also provided the community with valuable information about the food production chain, demonstrating the success and effectiveness of the actions carried out through significant participation by the population.
