AGAPE HAND AND REFOREST TREES supports rural communities in Peru to strengthen food security through community, family, and school horticulture. The project provides practical training, gardening resources, and technical support to help families and communities grow nutritious food locally. By strengthening knowledge and access to productive resources, the project promotes healthier diets, greater food self-reliance, and more resilient communities.
Rural communities in Peru can face limited access to productive land, seeds, gardening supplies, and practical horticulture training. These barriers can reduce households' ability to grow diverse foods locally and increase dependence on purchased food. In remote communities, limited technical support and geographic isolation can make it difficult for families and schools to establish and maintain productive gardens.
AGAPE HAND AND REFOREST TREES will provide practical horticulture training, seeds, gardening supplies, and technical support to families, schools, and community groups. Participants will learn how to establish, maintain, and improve productive gardens using locally appropriate practices. By combining skills with essential resources, the project will strengthen local food production and community capacity to improve food security.
Over time, stronger horticulture skills and continued access to productive resources can help families and communities maintain local food production beyond the project period. Greater capacity to grow diverse foods can strengthen household food availability, self-reliance, and resilience. Knowledge can also be shared among families, schools, and community members, extending the benefits of sustainable horticulture across rural communities in Peru.
