The Government of Sindh has provided kitchen kits to the poorest women of the backward district of #Umerkot in the province to set up kitchen gardens in their homes. With the help of the On Farm Water Management (OFWM)-GoS, kitchen garden kits have been distributed to 400 poorest women by SRSO - Sindh Rural Support Organization in the Umerkot district so far. The poorest women do not have their own agricultural land. Therefore, they can grow vegetables by creating kitchen gardens around their homes so that they do not spend money on buying expensive vegetables from the market. After receiving the kitchen garden kits, the poor rural women have set up kitchen gardens in their homes and vegetables have also started growing in their kitchen gardens. The kitchen garden kits have been designed using the drip irrigation method. With which different vegetables have been grown keeping in mind the weather. The women who have been provided kitchen garden kits in Umerkot also include women from Scheduled Castes. The Government of Sindh is helping the poorest families to get out of poverty in various practical ways so that they can improve their economic conditions. #KGKits #OFWM #foodsecurity #kitchengardening

So here we have a fig tree that are in need of a little tinder care. We pruned them back and opened up the center. As the tree continues to develop, it will have space to flourish. Figs have a multitude of health benefits. Unfortunately, or fortunately, they do not hold well. The quality of fig that you get at the grocery store will come nowhere near to what you will get freshly picked. If you haven't already planted you a fig tree. Keep your eyes open in your community and see if you can find one. Also, update all of the transplanted cuttings are growing, so twelve more fig trees are on the way from what otherwise would have been considered waste. #gardening #figs #urbanagriculture #yahrootz #yahsnacks #propagation #gardencoach #growyourownfood #stem #stemeducation #steameducation #gagrown #regenerativeagriculture #communitygarden

🍓 MAKING STRAWBERRIES ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL! Working with Chasalat, the largest insect-free produce company in Israel, ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran's inclusive gardening team tends to two greenhouses full of organic and insect-free strawberries, highlighting their agricultural acumen and making the beloved berries accessible to the Ultra-Orthodox community. In just two months, the team of nearly 40 gardeners with disabilities and special needs created the ideal pest-free growing environment and successfully made the Negev bloom with delicious botanical fruits fit for fellow Jews with restrictions of a different kind. Strawberries are very difficult to rid of mites, because the mites are tiny and look exactly like the seeds on the berries themselves, so the ultra-Orthodox community avoids them entirely. With their skills and abilities on full display, ADI's crew of master cultivators grow pristinely clean berries that satisfy this important and untapped market. When you're given opportunities to build your skills, do meaningful work and succeed in stunning fashion, life is as sweet as strawberries! 😋 adi-israel.org #ADI #Ability #Diversity #Inclusion #Disabled #Disability #PoweredByJNF #IsraelStrong #AmYisraelChai #JDAIM #JDAIM25

OUAGANET is dedicated to empowering villagers in rural communities by providing access to quality seeds, particularly for those who cannot afford them. These seeds enable families to cultivate small vegetable gardens, grow food for their own consumption, and eventually sell surplus produce to support and expand their gardening projects. The accompanying photo shows villagers holding seed bags, each containing ten varieties of high-quality vegetable seeds, including leafy greens well-suited for tropical climates such as seeds for the USA Zone 10 and above. This initiative is made possible through the generous seed donations from a partner organization in the U.S. While many of these seeds are adapted to tropical environments, they require specific care to ensure successful germination. Crops like eggplant, carrots, peppers, and cabbage need starter kits, appropriate soil, and careful adherence to planting guidelines. As part of this program, villagers are trained in these techniques to grow vegetables effectively and sustainably. Despite its potential, the initiative faces significant hurdles, including the cost of shipping seed boxes to Burkina Faso and obtaining essential supplies such as seed starter kits and soil. Overcoming these challenges is crucial to the program’s success and its ability to empower more communities.  #ZeroHunger  #FoodSecurity  #EmpowerRuralCommunities #SeedDonation #FightMalnutrition #FightHunger
