I visited -- together with Nino Casciaro, RETE president, and, as a kind guide Chistiane Costa, director of the Food security sector of the Instituto Pólis -- the Centro de Referencia de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional do Butantã - CRSANS-BT [Reference Center for Food and Nutrition Security of the B. neighborhood]. The Centre is placed at the margin of a shantytown ( favela ), encircled and threatened by middle-upper class blocks of flats.
The striking contrast.
The Centre promotes the organization and the well-being of the Inhabitants favela, doing Various Activities, with focus on food. The Centre Objective is to "formulated and implemented at the regional policy of Sustainable Food and nutrition security, fair by local development and citizen participation." The Centre is Promoted by the Polis Institute, in partnership with many governmental and non-g. organization.
Foreground: the BT-CRSANS garden; background: the building.
