Published: December 18 2024

A través del programa de soberanía alimentaria y agroecología se realizó la gran feria agroecológica 2024, donde participaron más de 300 personas. Se contó con un desfile de trajes típicos elaborados con materiales naturales reciclados en la que participaron las comunidades de El Izcatal, Potrero Batres, El Zacamil, Palo Bonito, San Felipe, Valle Nuevo, Tempisque, Río Caña, El Pepeto y Santa Rosa.

Con la actividad las comunidades pudieron dar a conocer su trabajo a través de técnicas agroecológicas, con las que cuidan el medio ambiente, y elaboran productos naturales que pueden comercializar y generar desarrollo sostenible para sus comunidades.

Food sovereignty and agroecology

The Sustainable Agriculture Program facilitates trainings and the application of organic agriculture techniques, working to advance campesina consciousness, soil recovery methods, and putting in practice ancestral and environmentally-friendly forms of agriculture.
According to our Values Statement, ADES is committed to protecting and defending natural resources, with the certainty that that is the only way to guarantee life in a comprehensive sense. In this effort to defend life, ADES is also committed to generating a different dynamic of relationships between the men and women who depend on agriculture and the land they cultivate
The Sustainable Agriculture Program is ADES’s core program that advances and promotes an understanding of agriculture that sees the earth as a living being, one that we must also show respect and consideration, based on the principles of life itself.

The feast of the Creation

Un gran banquete de salud y vida. Esa fue la invitación que durante los días 23 y 24 de agosto recibimos, y a manos llenas, todas y todos los que participamos en el taller que, auspiciado por ADES (Asociación de Desarrollo Económico y Social de Santa Marta) y coordinado por el sacerdote hondureño Fausto Milla, se estuvo desarrollando por acá.

TESTIMONY

Valuable experience in organic production

“I am happy because ADES has motivated us to work with organic repellents and fertilizers, showing us that it is possible to work the land another way; and improving my family’s life is crucial”

Juan Reyes

"Since ADES visited us and motivated us to begin working with them, our family has become closer, and now we are a team moving forward"

“We know that if we have land we can work with vegetables, and by doing so, we can flourish. Also, there are organizations likes ADES that motivate and support us”
