Abstract
Este trabajo de graduación tiene como propósito impulsar la implementación huertos escolares como una estrategia pedagógica y de sostenibilidad en centros educativos de la zona central y sur de Honduras. El objetivo principal es fomentar la educación ambiental, mejorar la seguridad alimentaria y fortalecer habilidades prácticas en los estudiantes. Se utilizó un enfoque metodológico mixto-descriptivo, basado en revisión documental, entrevistas a actores clave y visitas de campo. Los resultados reflejan que existen condiciones favorables para la implementación, especialmente cuando hay apoyo de padres de familia, docentes capacitados y aliados estratégicos. Se concluye que el huerto escolar representa una herramienta integral para fortalecer la enseñanza, promover valores de sostenibilidad y mejorar la alimentación escolar. Se recomienda utilizar la guía de implementación de este trabajo, adaptándola al contexto donde se encuentra el centro educativo que decide implementar el huerto para asegurar un seguimiento institucional para su sostenibilidad.

The results reflect favorable conditions for implementation, especially when supported by parents, trained teachers, and strategic partners. It is concluded that school gardens represent a comprehensive tool for strengthening teaching, promoting sustainability values, and improving school nutrition.
