We live in a country of 37 million inhabitants that produce food for more than 350 million people , but more in more than 50% of the departments in the Argentina provinces we have children with malnutrition, as shown by official indexes.

Children with nutritional deficiencies from birth to adolescence have a greater predisposition to illness. Their capacity for development is diminished and they usually experience fewer opportunities throughout their lives.

The program Mi Huerta (My vegetable garden) was created to answer the following question:

What can we do so that there are no hungry children in a country as fertile and abundant as our own?

The answer we found was the construction of half-acre community vegetable gardens, alongside greenhouses, in disadvantaged and isolated rural schools. This solution has been tested again and again over the years. Each time it demonstrates efficiency and sustainability.

Many people have exhibited a desire to help this project in any way they can. The foundation seeks to be a channel of this desire, showing the path and fostering solidarity between individuals and groups to achieve this common goal. Together we have achieved many things since the first garden in 1999.

The most important thing we can do is work in solidarity with one another and together we can make a difference.
