Because Therefore, it is extremely useful to identify the number of adolescent students in schools with absence of vegetable gardens because they are spaces that allow interaction with nature for this audience. Thus, the aim of the study was to analyze the frequencies of Brazilian adolescents studying in schools without a vegetable garden in 2019 and their distribution according to administrative and territorial dimensions. This is an ecological and descriptive based on aggregated data from the PeNSE Research carried out by the Instituto Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. The main variable was composed of the percentages of students aged 13 to 17 in schools that reported not having a vegetable garden. That variable was categorized by administrative dependence of the school (public and private) and territorial (federal units, capitals and large regions). All data has been analyzed using Google Sheets. The results showed that the frequency of adolescent schoolchildren who studied in schools without vegetable gardens, in Brazil, was 76.6%. As for administrative dependency, it is noticed that the highest frequency of adolescents in schools without a vegetable garden was in the public dimension (77.4%). Concerning territorial dimension, the highest percentage of adolescent students in schools without vegetable gardens was in the Northeast (85.0%) and the lowest, in the Midwest (62.1%). Now for the units of the Federation, the two largest were Pará (93.5%) and Pernambuco (91.8%) and the smallest were Tocantins (43.6%) and the Federal District (54.7%). In this sense, we emphasize the importance of monitoring the attendance of adolescents in schools without vegetable gardens so that work with vegetable gardens is encouraged, so that actions can be taken forward EAN and environmental education.AdolescentesHortas escolaresbachelorThesis
