Our organic garden and nutrition projects have greatly benefited from being linked to our education program.
Our garden manager, Francisco, has just completed his 4th year of university studying Agroforestry Engineering. He has one year left and is fully sponsored by our education program. This is a very expensive course that normally would not be possible for someone with background. He has taken his new knowledge and implemented programs in the Chuk Muk organic garden like soil testing and identification of different microorganisms. His soil management technics and crop rotation has greatly increased yeild in the garden while reducing diseases in the plants. His contacts through his field trips and projects has led to wonderful partnerships with government and non government organizations.
Our students volunteer in the garden and are often involved in educational workshops where Francisco shares his extensive knowledge. This has enabled Aldea Maya to have a thriving teaching garden that is supplying healthy, organic food to families that are struggling during COVID.
