The Municipality of Concordia, through the Secretariat of Productive Development, continues to strengthen the Integrated Agroecological Gardens Program for the Community with new training sessions aimed at residents and students from different sectors of the city, promoting the production of healthy food, environmental education, and the generation of job opportunities.
During the week, an activity was held at the SEDRONAR territorial facility in the Los Pájaros neighborhood, where 35 residents who are part of the Family Garden Program participated in theoretical-practical training on the planning, setup, and maintenance of agroecological gardens. On the same day, 20 children participated in a workshop specially designed to promote healthy eating habits and introduce them to food cultivation from an early age.
The Secretary of Productive Development, Sebastián Arístide, highlighted that "each training session represents an opportunity for more residents to incorporate knowledge that improves their quality of life. Gardens allow for the production of healthy food for family consumption, but they can also become a tool to generate work, boost entrepreneurship, and strengthen the economy of Concordia families."
Likewise, a new theoretical-practical workshop was carried out at the Integral Education School No. 2 "Azahares," continuing the School Garden Program. The activity allowed for progress in the development of the institutional garden using the tools and supplies provided in a timely manner by the Municipality, based on a project presented by residents and the educational community through the Participatory Budget. In this way, a learning space is consolidated where students acquire knowledge about agroecological production, healthy eating, teamwork, and environmental care.
The training sessions combined theoretical and practical content, providing concrete tools so that residents and students can develop family and school gardens, promoting self-consumption, sustainable production, and the possibility of generating income through ventures linked to the activity.
From the Secretariat of Productive Development, they remarked that the program will continue to visit neighborhoods, schools, and institutions in the city with the aim of providing training, technical assistance, and permanent support, strengthening a public policy that promotes productive development, social economy, and job creation from the territory.
The initiative is part of the Integrated Agroecological Gardens Program for the Community and is developed within the framework of the Infrastructure and Development Plan towards the Bicentennial, promoting actions that strengthen local production, inclusion, environmental education, and the growth of the different neighborhoods of Concordia.
