They develop a popular project in Berango to bring agriculture to the street
- In Berango, on the grounds of the tower house of Otxandategi, of the 15th century, a new popular project was presented on Saturday 2 April: Urban Land Otxantegi. As the project's drivers have explained, they have set in motion a Community garden, and among their objectives is the importance of agriculture in bringing the rural world closer to the streets.
In order to revitalize the agriculture of Uribe Kosta, several neighbours in the area have initiated the Otxantegi Herri Lurra project in the lands of the Otxandategi tower house in Berango. According to Hodei Rodríguez, one of the project's drivers, the plot they occupy has been used for agriculture for years, "at least until last year they cast people living in the old tower four generations house". Since then, these lands have not been cultivated, and instead of leaving things like that, entrepreneurs have decided to recover them and keep them for agriculture, starting a community orchard.
In addition to cultivating the garden, the objective of this project is to make a bridge between the farmhouse and the city. In fact, the activists regret that the urbanization process experienced by the region in recent years has made it "almost impossible" to dedicate to agriculture: "Today it is very difficult to find a land to cultivate land to start working in agriculture."
Open project
The aim of the project is to bring the project closer to the people of Berango and its surroundings and to maintain it in the long term. To this end, on Saturday, 2 April, a multitudinous public presentation was held. Potatoes were planted in Auzolan and a round table was held in which the characteristics of the urban process that the region has experienced over the years were analyzed. Then they performed a hallubiada, enjoyed an act of musicated poetry and had concerts. "Our goal was to make a broad cultural offering for people to get closer," he added.
Following the presentation, an open meeting will be held on Wednesday at 18:00 a.m. to continue the project. "It will be an open assembly, our goal is for everyone to participate," Rodríguez stressed.
