With this handbook, we want to encourage many schools and communities to create their own cultivation spaces, to spread and promote healthy eating habits and bring children closer to nature.

It is a practical guide that shows a step–by–step process to create a vegetable garden and introduces the concept of a food forest. A concept that emphasizes the importance of crop diversification of edible plants, that are organized in such a way that it tries to imitate the ecosystems and patterns of nature.

At the same time, it brings importance to biodiversity, crop rotation, and above all, soil health.

This handbook teaches you how to design the orchard, prepare the soil and organic fertilizers, and how to sow. It also includes chapters on pruning, irrigation, prevention of pests and diseases, and different types of plant reproduction.
