About the Project

This project focuses on developing and implementing policies for food security in Bolivia. The initiative collaborates with the government and town halls to create policies for farmers, markets, and supermarkets. A significant aspect of their work involves promoting urban farming and agriculture, educating individuals on growing their own food and supplying local markets with fresh produce.
The project also engages with schools and universities through awareness campaigns, emphasizing the importance of fresh products and the risks associated with chemical use in food production. Furthermore, the organization conducts research on these topics to inform and refine their policy development. Their target audience is broad, encompassing society and government officials, with the aim of raising widespread awareness. Key activities include implementing educational projects, fostering urban agriculture, developing public policies through platform building and advocacy, designing educational campaigns, and evaluating the impact of their programs and initiatives.
