Paddock were engaged by MESA Sostenible to work with them in developing and delivering their vision for a sustainable education farm and nutrition kitchen in El Tambo of the Tola region of Nicaragua. MESA Sostenible aims to promote economic, social and environmental sustainability within a rural community. This will be achieved through a hands-on education program focused on two main areas: an evidence-based permaculture program centered on the design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems tailored for the Tola region of Nicaragua; and, a hands-on nutrition kitchen utilising organically grown produce from site, that promotes the importance of food diversity and nutritional food consumption.
The project has received the following industry award:
