'Cities without Hunger' Project in Sao Paulo

Dona Bela, uses her own vegetables picked from her urban garden to cook for her family.
The garden has an occupational function in Dona Bela's life. She is retired and has no occupation, she has been with her husband for nearly 80 years. They both suffered bouts of depression and they found the garden a function that reactivated their social life, besides being an income-generating activity. Today she is also contributing to the income of the house where she lives with her daughter and grandchildren.
