Argentina's Huerta Niño Has Built Over 800 School Gardens for 100,000+ Children

Fundación Huerta Niño was founded in 1999 and helps schools build and run their own agroecological gardens, with teacher training and a yearly programme of sowing, harvest and healthy-eating workshops. Its website reports more than 500 schools, more than 800 school-garden projects and more than 2,000 teachers taking part. It counts more than 100,000 children as direct beneficiaries and more than 500,000 indirectly. Its Mi Huerta programme also extends to family gardens, and a 2025 GlobalGiving report shows it still adding schools, including one in Greater Buenos Aires that now has a grove of more than 20 fruit trees.
