Promotion of Food Security and Food Sovereignty with equity, of migrant families from District 6 of the municipality of Sucre

Bolivia

Justification

In the IPTK intervention process in the communities, problems such as water shortages for the permanent production of vegetables have been identified and the families have demanded to improve the clean production of vegetables by promoting the harvest of water at the family level, which allows taking advantage of the use to the maximum of water in the production processes and in this way promote the continuous production of vegetables with a clean approach and allow the women who participate in the project to generate additional income for families by the permanent marketing of vegetables in local markets. The project aims to consolidate food security with a focus on sovereignty, gender equality and resilience to climate change, of 60 migrant families from the municipality of Sucre. The action seeks the exercise of the Right to food by the subject population, the increase of economic income, the improvement of the quality of life of the population in a situation of extreme poverty (migrants, girls, boys, women and men), through the strengthening of the productive capacities of the 60 producer families of 8 communities in district 6 of Sucre, as well as the productive association of vegetables with the strengthening of their organizational, productive capacities, production costs and market for the sale of their clean production. The action will promote the resilience of communities against the effects of climate change; the increase of the participation of the population in the local economic development and the incidence in politics of support to their communities.
