Abstract

The project “University Vegetable Garden: planting science and reducing inequalities” aimed to create an increasingly sustainable environment within the university, from the elabora-tion of a community garden, with the participation of undergraduate students from the various courses offered in the Campuses of the Federal University of the Jequitinhonha and Mucuri Valleys (UFVJM), in Diamantina, aiming to promote the reduction of retention and evasion. Approximately 87.5% of the project team members improved their Academic Performance Co-efficient (CRA). Therefore, we can infer that the opening of an opportunity for students of the various undergraduate courses of UFVJM to integrate some type of project in a university scope, even as a volunteer, in addition to complying with the constitutional duty of the University re-garding the indissociability of teaching, research and extension, it becomes a motivating activity and contributes positively to the maintenance or improvement of academic achievement. In turn, the improvement in academic achievement eliminates a possible factor that would lead to the avoidance of this student of the course or institution of higher education.
