Promoción de la salud mental por medio de la siembra de huertas en Cali.

Previous research on health promotion through planting considers the strengthening of social ties, the practice of healthy lifestyle habits, and attention to psychological difficulties as results. Thus, it is important for this project to start from a systemic and multidisciplinary perspective of health that seeks to strengthen aspects of mental health (social support, psychological well-being and quality of life) and knowledge in urban agroecology (food security, planting and crop maintenance), with people from Cali, linked to the strategy of planting home gardens. It is based on a qualitative-transformative approach, with a participatory action research design. The results are expected to promote aspects of health and well-being in relationships with oneself, with others and with the immediate environment, as well as basic knowledge for caring for the garden.
