ESTRADA MARTINEZ, María Elena  y  ESCOBAR SALAZAR, Diana Carolina. Development of family gardens by Guabeños older adults from El Oro province, Ecuador. Coodes [online]. 2020, vol.8, n.2, pp.349-361.  Epub 20-Ago-2020. ISSN 2310-340X.

Family gardens have become a tool for food sovereignty and security because they provide healthy agricultural products that guarantee people's food and contribute to improving their quality of life. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the results of the project of association with the society entitled: "The garden as a teaching-learning resource on food culture in older adults". A descriptive research was carried out where the survey and observation techniques were applied. The results obtained showed that older adults were able to develop family gardens in their homes where they cultivated vegetables, fruits and medicinal plants for consumption. Family gardens developed by older adults can contribute to their food security and improve their quality of life.

Palabras clave : family gardens; older adults; quality of life.
