Abstract
“Shagras for life” focused on three pillars: agroecological food production, retrieval of the community’s alimentation memory, and diet diversity. The impact of Shagras for life became evident in the increase in diet diversity of homes and families. The project methodology boosts the traditional shagra and home garden, integrating agriculture with nutrition and socio-cultural processes and environments that contribute to achieving food security and the right to health.
