The vegetables that are harvested in this space will be Managed by the students of the Agricultural career. The students who will be in charge of these agricultural tasks belong to the Huertos Urbanos linkage project, directed by the teacher Alfonso Kuffó. Subsequently, they will be donated to social aid foundations so that they can improve the diet of others..
“The university believes in sustainable development and the promotion of healthy, safe, and nutritious food generated in agro-production systems managed efficiently and profitably, from an economic, social, and environmental point of view,” said the rector of the UCSG, Walter Mera. . (YO)
