DocumentOther document52 Profiles on Agroecology: The 250 Thousand Families Challenge: Bringing to bear food practice on health, equity and sustainability in Ecuador 2017
Also available in:
In Ecuador thousands of families have joined a campaign that promotes fresh, agroecological food produced by family farmers. Most of these foods are from native crops and are sold directly to consumers at outdoor markets and food fairs. These rural and urban families strengthen local cultures and economies as well as social organization. Based in their daily need to eat, they generate new value in food, for example by working with chefs who promote new flavors and plates tied to Andean cuisine. The public creates support for agroecology as it organizes around the advantages of “eating well” – i.e., utilizing food as a means for health, sustainability and social equity. The campaign’s motto is: We are 250,000 families who eat healthy, delicious food from our land. -
