The Municipality of Concordia, through the Secretariat of Productive Development, continues to strengthen the Family Garden Program through a territorial approach that provides support, monitoring, and technical advice to the families participating in the initiative.
Based on the sustained work in the neighborhoods, the first concrete results of the program are beginning to be observed: families are already producing autumn-winter seasonal vegetables, incorporating part of this production into their daily diet and strengthening habits linked to the consumption of healthy food.
Currently, the Family Garden Program reaches more than 20 neighborhoods in the city and has around 500 enrolled families. The support is provided on an ongoing basis through weekly visits by territorial operators from the Secretariat of Productive Development, who monitor each garden and accompany the families through the different stages of the process.
Added to this territorial work is the technical advice of an agronomist engineer, who provides recommendations and tools to improve cultivation practices, optimize production, and favor the development of sustainable family gardens.
From the Secretariat of Productive Development, they highlighted the importance of this support, noting that “the goal is for each family to be able to take ownership of the garden as a tool to produce their own food, improve their diet, and recover a practice that for many years was part of the daily life of our homes”.
The program seeks not only to promote self-consumption, but also to recover and strengthen the culture of the family garden in Concordia, creating the conditions so that more and more households can produce healthy food in their own spaces.
In this sense, one of the main objectives is to continue expanding the reach of the initiative and reach a greater number of families in the city, bringing training, technical assistance, and support from the territory.
The production of seasonal vegetables that families are already carrying out constitutes one of the first results of the work developed and reflects the impact of a public policy that promotes local production, healthy eating, self-consumption, and the strengthening of Concordia families.
The Family Garden Program is part of the productive development policies promoted by the Municipality of Concordia and has as its horizon to recover the culture of having a garden in every home, promoting a city where more families can produce their own food in a healthy and sustainable way.
