Community food projects can take various forms, such as community gardens, farmers' markets, food cooperatives, and community-supported agriculture programs, seed saving programs to make sure that traditional seed supplies are available, safe food storage etc. They may also include educational programs that teach people about healthy eating and cooking, as well as programs that help individuals and families with low incomes to access nutritious food.
Community food projects are important because they can help to address health disparities and promote community development. By improving access to healthy food, these projects can help to reduce the incidence of diet-related diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. They can also promote social cohesion and community empowerment by bringing people together to work towards a common goal.
By putting into action these projects, we at VIRUNGA ECOTOURS believe that our vision will be shone on a light as we are aiming to improve the livelihoods of the community living around the Virunga massif for the sake of conservation. When there is little or no income for farmers, or little money to buy food people go hungry and it affects the conservation efforts.
