Spearheading a green mission in Calangute to promote a self-reliant and self-sustaining community, the Goencho Avaaz Party will kick off the green initiative with a webinar to educate people on the widespread benefits of growing organic vegetables in their gardens and will offer tips on cultivating a home kitchen garden.
The webinar will be held on Sunday (September 19) at 4.30 pm and will be conducted by Allwyn Siqueira, a freelance farmer from Miramar.
He will expound on safe organic cultivation methods and share his experiences and learning on the subject.
As a follow-up to the webinar and for those that are eager to kick start their own vegetable gardens at home, Team Goencho Avaaz Calangute Constituency will be distributing 2500 free vegetable saplings to constituents on September 22.
The Goencho Avaaz Party candidate of Calangute Roshan Mathias has taken the green mission initiative in the constituency.
“All of us have a role to play in fostering the green mission, which is a small way that we can give back and help balance the tremendous damage and destruction that has been caused to our habitat. Garden-to-table produce has the potential to be a game-changer in the way we consume food and to reduce our household expenses,” Mathias said and urged the villagers to attend the webinar.
