During this Friday morning, a talk and the delivery of seeds to community soup kitchens were held as part of a joint action between the Municipality of Concordia, through the Undersecretariat of Social Development and INTA Concordia, by means of the ProHuerta program.
In this regard, the Undersecretary of Social Development Roberto Niez pointed out that the objective is to ensure that those community soup kitchens that have spaces to do so, develop vegetable gardens in order to produce fresh food for their own consumption, “which brings many benefits in various aspects. The premise of the mayor Francisco Azcué is that we continue working in this direction together with INTA to be able to reach the greatest possible number of soup kitchens with the program”.
For her part, Engineer Milagros Castañeda, from INTA Concordia, gave a presentation with the aim of facilitating the start of the vegetable gardens and applying agroecological management methodologies, seeking to guarantee food security and sovereignty.
“With this, we are producing our own food for the soup kitchens and what we are also looking for is to generate knowledge, joining efforts in this objective which is production, with kits that are prepared for small spaces and with a diversity of species”.
