Create vegetable gardens to better feed families
Create vegetable gardens to better feed families
As the academic year draws to a close, we share with you some of the results and successes achieved on the ground by our teams and partners in 2022. During this period, the successful launch of our new 2022-2026 development programme has been at the centre of our concerns, in our desire to relentlessly pursue the construction of a sustainable, equitable and united world.
In Peru, we supported small-scale market gardeners in the creation of organic vegetable gardens! Thanks to this initiative, a total of 37 organic vegetable gardens have been set up. This enables producers to feed their families and provide them with healthy, organic food all year round.
.In addition, the producers have received training in animal welfare so that they can provide the necessary care for their livestock. They have also received different varieties of cereal seeds for their own feed and that of their animals.
According to Domingo Yarago, the farmers have been able to use the seeds to feed their animals.
According to Domingo Yana Sucasaca, president of the " Huatta " association of agricultural producers, being part of an association brings them many more advantages : " at level of management, we have been able to obtain more interesting credits from agricultural banks. Before, we were forgotten. Individually, we could never have had more. But today, as an association, we're achieving so much more!"
In 2022, 70 producers have made commitments to the environment. 48 producer families involved in an ecological transition. 41 ha of market garden land benefit from improved environmental management.
