Pictures taken in 2007 at the UNICEF ALGERIA project “Family gardens in the refugee camps in S. W. Algeria” :
2007 - Splendid kitchen garden full of fresh vegetables, an excellent solution to combat hunger and lack of vitamins. Garden evaluated by Algerian engineers, a UNICEF-representative and the chief-engineer of the refugee camp.
2007 - In the middle of the Sahara desert production of fresh food is possible, combining traditional methods with some modern technologies (soil conditioner) and seeds ("Seeds for Food").
2007 - No longer dependent on external food aid, the family produces its own fresh food.
2007 - The proud mother responsible for the horticultural activities in the family garden, showing a magnificent turnip.
2007 - Could you imagine that production of fresh food in the desert is a real success story ? It should be duplicated all over the world's drylands. Red beetroots at the foreground.
2007 - Thanks to this kitchen garden the family members do not feel the world's food crisis. A very simple solution for a huge problem.
2007 - UNICEF's project in the Sahara desert showed clearly that food security can be guaranteed with minimal investment in small-scale family gardens. International food aid should take in account this opportunity to limit hunger and famine at the world's level. A choice to be made !
