AKABAL Pueblo not only offers a place to live in harmony with nature, but also provides its residents with a practical and effective solution to access healthy and nutritious food, strengthening their well-being.
Food sustainability is a fundamental pillar within AKABAL Pueblo, promoting the production of fresh and nutritious food, seeking to empower its residents to be owners of their own food supply. Gardens allow a variety of products to be grown, which reduces food purchases and consequently reduces expenses.
The incorporation of ORCHARDS in AKABAL PUEBLO will further enrich the sustainable proposal of the project, promoting responsible agriculture and food practices . In addition to the environmental and social benefits, gardens can also improve the quality of life of residents, encouraging a healthier lifestyle connected to nature.
