FOOD INSECURITY & ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION go hand in hand. Planet Rehab launched the Native Food Survival Kit during the pandemic. In Panama, the local Ngäbe people were hit particularly hard economically.
Our goal is to provide 250 families with a way to eat sustainably and much more healthy. Sadly, due to a diet high in meat, sugar, and processed foods, the Ngäbe people, have higher rates of diabetes, heart disease, obesity, etc.
Continually we are planting seeds, tending to the seedlings, and transplanting them into temporary housing. Each Kit includes:
- 1 Jackfruit Tree Sapling - each Jackfruit may grow up to 80 lbs, the fruit is delicious and nutritious and the seeds can be cooked or turned into Hummus
- 1 Biriba Tree Sapling - fruit is high in Calcium, Phosphorous, Vitamin C, and absolutely delicious
- 1 Water Apple Shrub - delicious and can prevent heart conditions & liver disorders
- 1 Katuk Shrub - 10 times more protein than spinach, contains Vitamins A, B, C & is known to treat the flu
- 1 Cranberry Hibiscus - highly nutritious vegetable, leaves high in Vitamin B3, known to help Diabetics, fight cancer & protect the liver
