Capacitación de SIFAT 2024-11-02

Del 20 al 26 de septiembre, Servants In Faith and Technology (SIFAT; sifat.org/) realizó una capacitación sobre Seguridad Alimentaria y Agroecología en su finca de demostración en La Tigra, San Carlos, Costa Rica. Participantes de Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, y Haití comenzaron juntos cada día con una oración y meditación. Los temas de desarrollo comunitario incluyeron capacitaciones prácticas en la finca y visitas. 

Las prácticas agroecológicas típicas en la finca de demostración de SIFAT trataron sobre agentes biológicos para control de plagas y mejoras del suelo como “microorganismos de montaña” y biocarbón. Los experimentos en finca por la Universidad Nacional de Agricultura de Honduras mostraron la aplicación en el terreno de estas prácticas al tiempo que caracterizan su papel en la agroecología de las fincas locales. 

La capacitación sobre reforestación y manejo de viveros, con varias generaciones participando en el programa la Abuela Ecológica mostró la siembra de árboles eficaz e inclusiva en Costa Rica. Este programa [http://edn.link/9h4drt] mostró la importancia de todas las generaciones trabajando juntas. El emprendedurismo en fincas pequeñas puso de relieve las preocupaciones de cooperativas de mujeres exitosas y empresas familiares así como la educación ambiental. El Ministerio de Agricultura de Costa Rica recordó a los asistentes el papel positive que los gobiernos desempeñan con el medio ambiente y la paz como prioridades. Presentaciones especiales de “Development is from the Heart” (El Desarrollo viene del corazón) de Nicaragua y las experiencias de SIFAT Haití animaron a los participantes. El contenido del evento no solo cubrió la producción agrícola orgánica sino también respuestas nutricionales sencillas al hambre a través de talleres sobre verduras de hoja verde, como una clase sobre la preparación de la espinaca brasileña.

SIFAT está construyendo un centro de Tecnología Apropiada para ampliar la capacitación en América Latina y el Caribe. Fueron momentos gratificantes de compañerismo, oración y pertenencia a un grupo diverso de personas, siempre recordando a los 13,400 niños menores de cinco años que mueren diariamente por causas relacionadas con el hambre (UNIGME, 2024).
