Reviving Family Farming
Vegetable gardening has been introduced at the Capanda Agro–industrial Pole (PAC) as a source of income for local small farmers. The vegetable gardens are part of a social program, Kulonga pala Kukula (“education for development” in Kimbundu, which also includes actions to promote health, water availability and education. Women and a few men plant a variety of seeds brought from Brazil to 10 villages close to the Capanda hydroelectric plant, 360 kilometers from the capital, Luanda.
