SOWING PATHS OF PEACE

This project seeks to promote peace, harmony, and environmental stewardship in our community. Our goal is to plant trees in different parts of the community, accompanied by messages of peace written by children. This project seeks to foster awareness and responsibility in environmental stewardship, as well as promote peace and harmony in our community.

In addition, around each tree, with messages of peace from the children and the community, we will add Fukuoka Method seed bombs. These seeds will be edible and will contribute to the biodiversity and resilience of the ecosystem.
The Fukuoka Method is a natural and sustainable agriculture technique that focuses on creating a healthy and diverse ecosystem. This method promotes the use of native and edible seeds and the creation of a pleasant, natural environment for the community.
The application of the Fukuoka method in this project will contribute to:
- Promoting biodiversity and ecosystem resilience
- Providing food and resources for the community
- Helping to mitigate climate change and soil erosion
- Creating a natural and enjoyable environment for the community
