The Urban Agriculture Program (PAU) was initiated in 2002 during an economic and political crisis in Argentina by the Ministry of Social Economy of the Municipality of Rosario. Its purpose is to manage participatory social business in the production of food through ecological techniques for the consumption of families, communities, and the local market. Today the program is expanding and increasing right to the city while creating access to natural local resources and diversification of the economy.
