Then the students will choose the containers for planting that are made of material
recyclable as pots or drawers, they will likewise proceed to clean the land
in which the garden will be established, removing any waste materials: stones,
weed or another.
The video 'how to make homemade organic fertilizer' will be screened for the students.

A food consumption frequency questionnaire will be applied which will allow us

one of the foods in the last year, this way we get an idea of which
they are the foods that are scarcely accessible and are consumed very little in the
student community.
A research on seasonal fruits and vegetables will be conducted and subsequently
