The advances were presented to more than 400 ninth-cycle students from various national and private institutes, with the aim of promoting the importance of knowledge about climate change and its implications, the importance of producing their own food, and the use of spaces in urban and peri-urban homes to strengthen Food and Nutritional Security, facilitating adaptation to climate change. Additionally, representatives from local organizations and companies were present.
This research is being developed within the framework of the project ‘Contributing to climate-resilient socio-ecological landscapes for family prosperity and nutrition in Guatemala and El Salvador’ with financial support from the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), with counterpart funding from ICC.
