MUNICIPALITIES: 124 PRACTICES
Realizing the difficulties of the times and believing in social sensibility of citizens, both of producers and growers, the goal of Department of social services of our municipality is to supply the additional agricultural production to our citizens that are in need around our municipality. This can be fulfied by the contribution of local farmers, producers, Agricultural Associations Societies and volunteers.
Socially vulnerable groups who need our support and help during a difficult economic period for our country.
Almost all over th year, due to open vegetable cultivation and cultivation in greenhouses.
Trifylia is a vast plain with high quality and excellent agricultural production. According to international surveys, about 30% of agricultural production remains untapped because it does not meet the strict requirements of wholesale on the appearance of the product or due to the high harvesting costs in relation to the expected profit. Meanwhile 1.3 tons of global food ends up in the trash, when 863 million our fellow people are suffering from starvation. Our Municipality builds social bridges by supplying the additional agricultural production to those citizens that ara in need. Growers, producers, agricultural associations - societies notify us for a free of charge distribution of their additional production. Several municipal clerks and many volunteers participate at the harvest, packaging, transport and distribution of agricultural products (tomatoes, lettuce, green beans, etc.). There is a direct distribution of them. We find quite useful even ths smallest offered quantity. It is so important if you can fill with it table of a family. It is an innovative model of exploiting the additional agricultural production, according to universal values, such as solidarity, offering, love and voluntarism.
Support social vulnerable people. Assistance of 390 families (either in full or part thereof) recorded in a data according to the income criteria. Safe, adequante and nutritious food. Further quantity for public social meals.
