ADERLAN launches the project “Ecological farmers at school”

The Association for Rural and Fishing Development of Lanzarote, ADERLAN, has launched the project: Organic Farmers in the School.

Organic farmers at the school is a project that deals with issues surrounding the conception of agriculture from its beginnings to the present day, on the problems generated by the conventional model of production (impact on health, disappearance of traditions and local culture, imbalances in ecosystems),… on the importance of organic farming as a viable model to cause change as well as the role of critical and informed consumers in the development of a more environmentally friendly production, fairer trade and a healthier diet.

Its main objectives include: promoting healthy eating habits, spread the traditional rural culture of the area, encourage responsible consumption and the love for nature, strengthen responsibility and teamwork, support the existing orchards and create new ones.
