Learning by Doing

By Angelina Ruf - Project Leader

We currently integrate 105 families within a Collective for learning in food, workshops on biological control, agrohomeopathy, vertical gardens, dehydrators for fruits and aromatic plants, fermented beverages, etc. among other topics of interest to the participants that are living in the Metropolitan Zone of the city of Oaxaca.

Visits have been made to the homes of the participants to advise and resolve doubts and to accompany them in the realization of some of their food production activities.

We are very encouraged that everything we have learned during these months can help to solve problems in waste management through the production of fertilizers, or in the good management of water - due to the worldwide water shortage - to make its use more efficient in backyard crops, and thus to improve the lives of all participating families and their environment.

Thank you so much for your constant support, we appreciate you!

The group is based on collective work, since producing requires a lot of effort. knowledge, in the generation of relationships that are not based on the economic or monetary at the same time, a dynamic of exchange and
complementarity of different materials for the complementarity of different materials for the production, conservation and fermentation of food. The participants have been trained in biological control of insects, the production of organic fertilizers, cultivation of native plants, dehydration of fruits, vegetables and plants and conscious cooking.
