The Municipality of Concordia, through the Secretariat of Productive Development and the Department of Social Economy, continues to strengthen the Family Agroecological Gardens Program, a public policy that promotes the production of healthy food, environmental care, and community development in the neighborhoods.
In this context, a new seedling distribution day was held, reaching more than 50 residents from different sectors of the city. On this occasion, the initiative reached the Asentamiento Colonial, Nogueira, 2 de Abril, España, Odiard, and Islas Malvinas neighborhoods in Cambá Paso, consolidating access to tools for food production in every home.
From the Municipality, it was highlighted that, so far this year, the program has already reached more than 200 families, which are added to the more than 2,000 families accompanied during 2025, reaffirming the sustained growth of this initiative throughout the city.
Likewise, the educational dimension of the program continues to be strengthened through joint work with institutions. On this occasion, a session was held at Primary School No. 69 “San Francisco”, where students participated in a theoretical-practical workshop on cultivation, setup, and maintenance of gardens.
During the activity, the students acquired knowledge about sowing techniques, soil care, and space planning, and also received seasonal seedlings to start their own gardens both in their homes and in the school environment.
UPCOMING DISTRIBUTIONS
Regarding the continuity of the program, it was reported that the next sessions will take place on Wednesday, April 22, in the Tavella Norte neighborhood, at 08:30 hours (Padres Capuchinos, between Laprida and Brown), and subsequently at 10:00 hours in the Mendieta neighborhood (Capitán Rojas), where the distribution of seedlings and technical support to families will continue.
In this regard, the Director of Cooperativism and Associativism, Ariel Gorostegui, highlighted that “this program not only guarantees access to healthy food, but also strengthens community organization and solidarity work in the neighborhoods, generating concrete opportunities for many families”.
For his part, the Head of the Department of Social Economy, Miguel Parra, stressed that “technical support is fundamental for each family to be able to sustain their garden over time. It is not just about delivering seedlings, but about providing tools and knowledge that allow for efficient and sustainable production”.
These actions are part of a sustained policy that seeks to generate opportunities, promote healthy habits, and strengthen the social fabric through community work.
