Assessment to the Moqoit in the development of agroecological projects

Abstract

The Rural Soil and Water Directorate dates back to the 1970s within Chaco Ministry of Production. This directorate has been working in action, with small and medium-size producers, focused on field work, rural development, sustainability, soil care, appropriate practices and gender and rurality among others. This publication will outline an experience carried out with the Moqoit. The aim of this work was to provide technical assistance to the development of agroecological productive projects carried out by family and community producers from the Moqoit in El Pastoril, Villa Ángela, Chaco. Theoreticalpractical workshops were held related to agroecological production about sodium soil recovery treatments. As a result, it was possible to turn 0.25 ha unused property into a biodiversity community garden with soil recovery. It is not possible to sustain the processes without the local supporters who go along, monitor and strengthen these processes.
