What we do
School gardens
We promote the creation of agroecological gardens in schools with the aim of teaching children about:
Healthy eating
Growing a vegetable garden

The garden is transformed into an open-air classroom, allowing students to replicate what they learned there in their homes.
Educational program
We provide workshops and teaching materials so teachers can work with children and their families to develop the necessary knowledge to:
A healthy diet
Grow your own food
Caring for natural resources
Be agents of change
The classroom becomes a laboratory to observe and consolidate what has been learned in the garden.
