These events emphasized the importance of the kitchen and sowed seeds for the future by promoting recycling and raising public awareness, ensuring the survival of our ancient traditions. Composting and waste recycling were discussed, as well as the use of local seeds, enriching the soil, and providing information on how to prevent waste and recycle.
