Become a Friend of the 3C Isla de Tercia urban and social agriculture program
02-03-2020
Humana and the Triodos Foundation offer you the possibility of becoming a Friend of the 3C Isla de Tercia collaborating in the crowdfunding campaign that both entities have launched.
Its purpose is to raise funds to give continuity to the 3C Isla de Tercia orchard and help us to ensure cultivating and promoting urban agriculture by the activists and our agricultural technician. The resources generated through the campaign will go to the purchase of diverse material (a motocultor, a brush cutter and mulch) and will help guarantee the salary of the Humana technician responsible for the garden.
A year of 3C Tercia Island
Tercia Island has been active since the spring of 2019. It has 30 users, adding the people involved in a personal capacity and the members of several participating groups, such as the Spanish Red Cross Seniors Area and the Orchards Working Group of the Faculty of Education Sciences of the University of Seville.
The project is free for participants, who receive theoretical and practical training in horticulture to create and maintain an organic garden.
Both workshops and continuous advice are provided by the agricultural instructor, whose work is essential to ensure the continuity of the garden.
Cultivating Climate and Community since 2014
In order to promote sustainable development models at local level, and with the experience accumulated thanks to the Farmers Club program carried out in Sub-Saharan Africa, mainly, Humana launched in 2014 the program of social and urban agriculture 3C Cultivate the Climate and community. The choice of organic farming is not a coincidence: the Foundation's values include respect for the environment that, applied to this project, encourages participants to “collaborate” with nature, and comply with its codes and requirements . In the background is the fight against climate change, a common element to a large part of the cooperation programs in the Southern hemisphere of the Foundation and the other entities that make up Humana People to People.
The program has ten social gardens in Spain: two in Andalusia, three in the Community of Madrid and five in Catalonia. Since its launch, it has involved 430 people, with a total cultivated area of 25,900 m2 and a global production of 92 tons of organic vegetables for self-consumption. When there is a surplus, users donate part of the production to solidarity entities or to the local food bank.
