The initiative, led by “A Biqueira” and part of the Food Strategy – SEMEAR Funchal, took place at the Professor Virgílio Pereira Civic Center in Santa Luzia.
The councilor for Health, Helena Leal, was present and reaffirmed the Funchal Municipality's commitment to promoting food literacy and encouraging conscious choices.
“"What we want is to sow wherever we go, so that everyone can have a healthier and also safer life."
Valuing local food history and traditions is a pillar of this strategy, contributing to the improvement of the population's quality of life. "Living longer means living with a better quality of life, with health and well-being," the councilor emphasized.
During the event, a pea soup was prepared and served, a traditional recipe that highlights this legume and contributes to the preservation of local gastronomic heritage.
