Agriculture programmes

Micro-agriculture projects established and supported by Antenna

Today, family gardens are seen as one of the most effective ways to overcome food insecurity and malnutrition. They increase the availability of fresh foods throughout the year and they reduce household expenditure on foodstuffs.

Ecoparks, as centers for nutrition and training

The goal of the Ecoparks concept is to promote technological and financial tools which can serve to reduce extreme poverty and malnutrition. The project is built around core concerns of sustainable development and optimal respect for local traditions. In an Ecopark, one finds a converging set of activities –cultivation of spirulina and medicinal plants and herbs, market gardening in family plots, training in nutrition and nutritional gardens, fish-farming and more.
