Importance of the Project
The Summer Agro-Basket, which contains plants, seeds, and a bag of fertilizer, gives the Lebanese people the opportunity to grown their own garden and save on their food expenses with a sense of dignity, knowing that they are relying on themselves and not on others.
In addition, the benefits of growing their own food include: enjoying better-tasting food, improving the family’s health, relieving stress, reducing worry about food safety, spending time in nature, reducing environmental impact, minimizing overall food waste, and building a sense of pride.
