The amount of wasted food was 931 million tons in 2019, with 26% of this value being discarded by the service sector, where the school is located. Considering that food waste is a social, economic and environmental problem, it is essential to develop research that propose effective solutions for its resolution. Thus, the objective of this work is to verify the situation of waste in a school and propose actions to minimize and raise awareness of food waste. By weighing food, it was found that 165 kg of food was discarded in the week of June 6, 2022 to June 10, 2022, despite the fact that 81.5% of the survey respondents claimed not to waste food. In view of this scenario, it is proposed to develop projects that bring greater awareness of the value of food, such as the cultivation of a vegetable garden, until the inclusion of this subject in the classroom, encouraging student protagonism.
