FOOD AND AMP ENVIRONMENT

Following the work that Marca ADL has been developing over the past years on the themes of Climate Change, Sustainability, and wild edible plants, this year we intend to work on these themes together, with greater emphasis on the issue of food and the impact it has on the environment.
Goals:
1) To promote youth participation and involvement in environmental and social issues;
2) To contribute to the conservation of the natural and cultural heritage of Montemor-o-Novo;
3) To promote reflection on sustainable behaviours and to contribute to behavioural change at individual and community levels.
4) To enhance youth participation in the resolution of local and global problems;
5) To make young people aware of the impact that our food choices have on the environment.

Nursery maintenance work:
• Collection and sorting of seeds of native plants;
• transplanting plants into pots with greater capacity, watering the mother plants, among other tasks that are relevant to the normal functioning of the plant nursery.
In these activities young people will be able to get to know the region’s natural areas. Control of invasive alien species that endanger the native biodiversity.
Activities open to the community: Collection of urban waste, present in watercourses and Vermicomposting workshop (activity related to the circular economy and sustainable daily practices.
