About the Program: 

Avataras Meliquina. We are a Work Cooperative we cultivate 1.000m2, we have a hen house and We give cropping courses to adults in general and teachers. We created an "edibleschoolyard" project in a rural school in Meliquina and we were the promotors of edibleschoolyatd project in schools in San Martín de los Andes and we receive regurlaly schoolgrades whom we teach cropping techniques and cooking skills thay then apply at their school. 

We also work with local guvermental agencys to promote local organic farming and farming in schools.

We added some resources and hopefully we will keep on receiving more and more schools.
