Description: Escoteiros da Alimentação Saudável is a personal initiative from Clea Ruffier (pediatrician, specializing in nutrition and gastronomy). Has the mission to educate children from low-income farmers in the region called Brejal (Petróplis - Rio de Janeiro). The objective is to incentivize the use of organic farming, agroforestry, healthy food, and it's preparation, and develop professional skills for future employment in the food industry. The project had a great impact and great results within the region.

Why I love this solution: Aids children from low-income community farmers to use local organic agriculture as the main source of healthy and sustainable food while educating them to eat better and improve skills for future professions related to food.
