Propuesta gastronómica para el aprovechamiento de la producción agrícola - ganadera en la alimentación de la comunidad de Atucloma parroquia Tarqui

Abstract

The purpose of this intervention project is to improve and diversify the diet of the inhabitants of the community of Atucloma belonging to the Tarqui parish, through the use of agricultural and livestock products with an emphasis on the use of products from family gardens and in combination with products from other regions by applying traditional cooking methods and techniques, such as boiling, sautéing, stewing, roasting and steaming. Undoubtedly, the application of the products will motivate feeding on vegetables and foods that have ceased to be used over time, which, in turn will reinforce a healthier and more balanced diet in children and parents who make the preparations for consumption, and finally, food security potentiation will be induced. The first chapter addresses the generalities of the community and its agricultural and livestock production highlighting the products grown in the orchards and lands adjacent to their homes, then the detail of raising animals for self-consumption and sale and subsequent analysis of each product. With regard to the second chapter, it focuses on explaining the gastronomy of the community, the culinary preparations applied with the use of the various products obtained through agricultural and livestock practices, in turn the consumption of food in their daily diet.
