This poject will inform the familes of periurbans zones of Oaxaca city about the bad conditions of the industrial food and risky forms of production, to take accion in growing their own food in urban gardens. We want to help 30 families to built their own urban garden in their hauses. We want to reconect the people with the earth, they can garden and learn how to eat healthy.
We are living in a fast-moving world, so it is easier to buy industrial food. All the sugar in industrial food causes diseases such as diabetes. Mexico is one of the countries with the highest proportion of people suffering from diabetes. But under the influence of the industry, people have forgotten how to cook and consume food that is rich in nutrients.
This Poject helps to educate people and remind them of their culture. With the urban gardens, we want to work against industry and at the same time reunite people and nature. The members learn how to cook with the food they have planted and how to preserve it. The members learn healthier recipes through us. We hope that the recipes will be passed on, also how to grow plants and their characteristics.
By sharing recipies and conciously eating healty food, we hope that people will make a concious decision for their culture and against buying idustrial food. We hope that this project will be a seed for people to reduce their dependance on the industrial agri-food system.
