The project begins in 2021, with two phases; the first ends in the same year and the second concluded in 2023. This project was implemented to improve the livelihoods of 420 vulnerable families of extreme and high food insecurity with the reduction of 30% of children classified below average height by age in the project area; and a 25% increase in the value of family productive assets. The methodology of work with families focuses on productive and environmental aspects, and a design of non-formal adult education was applied. During the time that the project was applied, it was concluded that the methodology worked to strengthen organizational capacities, support for agricultural production, animal health, agricultural exchange events, post-harvest, which is expected to be replicated and sustainable because it is based on organizations with decision, where peasant women play a very important role.
