The technical team from the Rural Home component led the instruction, focusing on topics such as the "farmer-to-farmer" methodology, family gardens, and healthy eating.
Participants learned to prepare various nutritious recipes using ingredients commonly found in their communities. These included pineapple and jalapeño hot sauce, pineapple and cucumber drink, bougainvillea and lemon water, plantain pastries, and tamarind sweets.
Additionally, a professional from the Animal Welfare Unit (UBA) participated in the training to address important animal care topics.
