Great! Haha, I love a good rant 🙃 fair enough, you're right I don't know what is like in Brasil. We do have quote a few alternatives to our state education so I guess there is more opportunity for kids to learn about horticulture. To be fair there are more and more schools that are setting up outdoor classrooms and growing spaces which is amazing. So things are getting much better here.
We call the rented gardens 'allotments'. They are absolutely invaluable for many people living in cities that don't have access to land. It would be an amazing initiative to set up where you are in Brasil. I know there are some urban community farm projects popping up around Brasil. I heard a guy talking about his project I think it was in Brasilia. Was interesting listening to him talk about the challenges of engagement because it was such a new concept to the people there. But it sounded like they were being very successful. It is a great time to be apart of the great paradigm shift in how we think about rebuilding our communities and culture - back to growing our own food and honouring the land. If you can facilitate others to have access to land as well then this is an amazing thing to do! 🙏❣️
That's amazing. I wish our education ministery would liberate the curriculum so schools can implemente such initiatives here; our public education, and even private, at a certain degree, is way too inflexible.
Gonna check the brazilian projects. It's indeed a great idea. People could pay yearly to have a small lot in our ranch, and if they don't show up to they lose the lot to someone who wants to work.
