Sunday is car free day in Rosario. And the quiet streets are being well used by cyclists,skaters and pedestrians - dogs, lots of dogs 
This growers works with his parents on a family farm. They provide opportunities for street children to work on the farm, facilitated by the municipality. This is voluntary work they don’t get paid for it.
He is a tenant farmer. He has been on his land for 20 years on a rolling 2 year lease.
It’s great seeing the farmers we met in their fields at La Bosque selling their produce in the city
Remember Mario? He’s doing good business today ....
... and remember his chickens? Their produce is selling well too.
Recent bad weather means the growers have less produce today than they usually do. Still looking nicely stocked behind here though.
And that’s a wrap from an inspiring 5 days in #Rosario learning about the great work being done by the #urban #agroecology project here. Lots of (healthy) food for thought and huge thanks to our hosts, the growers, and the people of Rosario for the wonderful hospitality!
