Eco Circular

#Mértola #Associação
The "Eco Circular" project was, is and will be based on the fusion of two practical and material concepts - a vegetable garden and a social restaurant - and an immaterial and pedagogical concept - environmental and food education - with the mutual aim of promoting sustainable production and consumption:
  • Environmental: Through ecological production methods, the practical application of nature conservation concepts and the relentless pursuit of zero-waste strategies, short consumption circuits and waste recycling.
  • Economic: Creation of two economic activities - Agriculture and Catering - which guarantee the solidity, balance and autonomy needed to perpetuate the common goal of Promoting Environmental Awareness and Food Literacy.
  • Social: Organisation of various training activities, debates and sharing of agricultural, ecological, food and environmental knowledge. Subliminal communication of environmental pedagogy by welcoming customers to the restaurant.
