During this morning, at the offices of the Secretariat of Productive Development, a working group meeting was held to advance the implementation of community garden sectors on municipal land.
The meeting was led by the Secretary of Productive Development, Eng. Federico Schattenhofer, accompanied by the Undersecretary of Development and Entrepreneurship, Gabriel Enguelberg, the Director of Employment, Juan Manuel Scarzello, and the Director of Cooperativism and Associativism, José Vedoya. Council members Guillermo Satalia Méndez and Carolina Amiano, who were the creators of the “Community Garden Park” Ordinance Project, recently approved by the Deliberative Council, also participated.
The project aims to guarantee access to fresh, quality food for citizens, while promoting social integration and learning through the creation of shared spaces in different neighborhoods of Concordia. The community gardens will not only offer a source of healthy food, but also a place where residents can learn about cultivation techniques, build community ties, and foster self-sustainability.
Regarding the progress of the project, during the working group meeting, the future locations for the gardens on municipal land were selected, thus beginning to shape the realization of these spaces.
In this regard, Schattenhofer highlighted the relevance of this project for the community: “This program is an exceptional opportunity for the residents of Concordia to get involved in the production of healthy food, while fostering collaborative work and solidarity in the neighborhoods. The community gardens will create a true space for integration and learning.”
The project moves forward with the support of the Deliberative Council, and will continue with new stages in the coming weeks, actively involving residents in the implementation of the gardens.
