The nutrition kitchen
aims to follow on from
the work done in the
garden's – taking the
produce and developing
the communities skills
in relation to nutrition
and healthy living. The
community is currently
living on a staple diet
relying on one main food
type and risking
malnutrition.
The center aims to
promote an awareness of
a nutritious balanced
diet based on the idea
that you are what you
eat. Other skills
enhanced within the
kitchen include how to
clean and prepare foods
and storage of bulk
produce via drying,
preserving and smoking
enabling people to self
sustain through the
seasons and maintain
wellness through good
nutrition.
The kitchen is also
where our part as humans
in the whole cycle in
played out – we eat the
food, which gives us
energy, we use this
energy to work in the
gardens to produce more
food, we excrete the
waste matter in the
toilets that in turn
feeds the bio digester
and produces the gas for
cooking and water to
water the garden and
thus completing the
cycle.
