Population growth, irresponsible consumption, and inadequate solid waste disposal practices have triggered environmental problems worldwide. In this sense, the study of organic waste and socio-ecological thinking works as a starting point to analyze the problem in local spaces, in this case Huerta Semillas De La Esperanza, which is a non-conventional space where children, adolescents and adults meet with a perspective of change with the interest of wanting to learn about natural elements, contributing to promote solutions to a public problem. Based on these elements, this work analyzes the implementation of the development of a didactic proposal based on socio-ecological thinking for the appropriation of organic waste issues since, as stated by Navarrete & León, 2005, (cited by Macías. et al., 2018), the World Bank presented a diagnosis in which it presents the national situation regarding municipal solid waste at a critical and practically inoperative level.
