Objective
To contribute to the improvement of food security for the student population of the rural educational centers (CER). This would be supported by the Fundación Fraternidad of Medellín, by maintaining organically mineralized agricultural gardens, which would enable an increase in the availability and the consumption of fruits, tubers, roots, and vegetables.
Actions
- One full-time agricultural engineer and agricultural technologist supporting the re-mineralization processes.
- One nutritional professional who will act as a partner in the process and assist with school visits. These visits will be at different times and consist of two-hour sessions. Agricultural professionals will train the teacher(s), group of family fathers, and students with higher academic performance who want to get involved in the process of mineralized organic agriculture and waste management.
- Theoretical-practical workshops for family fathers, teachers, and students on : organic production, food security, plot administration and logistics, as well as waste management.
