The Peacebuilding Garden training programs aim to promote sustainable agriculture and social cohesion to tackle food insecurity and generate livelihoods. TEEC is transforming public spaces into shared agricultural hubs, empowering women and girls to grow fresh, affordable produce while fostering cross-cultural dialogue, economic self-reliance, and long-term peacebuilding within communities.

Our Centre introduced vegetable gardening as a way to empower women to support their families and communities, including internally displaced persons (IDPs), by gaining valuable skills for their futures. We advocate for holistic solutions, recognizing that hunger is rooted in poverty and inequality.

Food gardening provides stress relief, a connection to nature, social connectivity, and recreation in a safe space, offering tangible benefits that enable people to participate in the food system and understand how food is produced. These community gardens uphold food security as a fundamental human rights, a global SDG response.
