The inhabitants of Africa see their food very conditioned: climatic disasters (droughts and cyclones), scarcity of land for cultivation, pests, lack of knowledge for good land management, the little income they receive from the sale of their scarce production and/or the high prices they have to pay for basic products in times of shortage end up limiting a basic diet, i. e. that consisting of three meals a day. Of course, those who suffer most are the most vulnerable families: rural families or those living in peripheral neighborhoods who have little alternative in raising some animals or who do not see their land generating products that would allow them to earn some benefit that would improve the food in their homes. And within these families, those who are most harmed by poor nutrition are obviously the children: they are the ones who suffer the worst.
Although in non-extreme climatic conditions, some vegetables can be grown throughout the year, with the Greenhouse, we seek to extend the production cycles of the various crops so that the centre has vegetables available all year round in an uninterrupted manner that will improve the food security of all the beneficiaries and the sustainability of the project.
