SUMMARY:

Academic-professional training is a subject whose discussion must be continuous and,
therefore, necessary for the quality of higher education. Directing this approach to Agrarian
Sciences, with an emphasis on the Amazon region, there is a need for a more focal discussion
in terms of profile, performance and confrontation of socio-environmental challenges. The call
to the Amazon stems from the environmental impacts, which expose a series of political, social
and economic issues. So, talking about the academic training process for serving this region is
to think about agricultural practices that generate social transformations in favor of the
preservation of biodiversity and the balance of production chains. In this sense, the
development of the study was taken as necessary to analyze the training of professionals in
agrarian sciences from the Animal Science and Agronomy courses at the Federal University of
Oeste do Pará (Ufopa). Therefore, descriptive research with a quali-quantitative approach was
carried out, whose data were collected through bibliographical and documental sources and
application of a structured questionnaire. This instrument was intended for course coordinators,
members of the Structuring Faculty Nucleus (NDEs), professors, students and graduates.
Quantitative results were organized in the Excel® program, using descriptive statistics; while
the qualitative ones were interpreted based on Content Analysis. The study was approved by
the Public Ethics Committee, under Opinion No. 4,353,971. From this arrangement, the results
achieved confirmed the importance of discussing sustainability, in order to advance in the
alignment between this knowledge and that of traditional agricultural practice. Likewise, the
effort of the courses to promote education that responds to regional demands and those of the
rest of the country was evident.
