Grow food sovereignty through community compost in San Salvador

Gardens, organics, and mutual aid

The 2025 regional chapter stresses how community compost, source segregation, recycler inclusion, and community gardens (huertos) strengthen food sovereignty in vulnerable neighbourhoods across Latin America, with San Salvador among municipalities GAIA accompanies on zero-waste pathways.

What you can do

  • Start or join a barrio compost pile that feeds a shared garden bed.
  • Partner with youth groups to run organic-waste recycling workshops at schools.

Why it matters

When food prices rise, keeping organics in the neighbourhood loop builds soil, skills, and shared meals, not dependency on distant supply chains.
