The well-developed orchard and farm contribute significantly to meet daily the food needs of the peasant family. They supply the home with complementary foods such as roots and tubers, legumes, vegetables, fruits, products of animal origin (meats, milk and eggs), as well as medicinal plants, condiments and others.
Basic foods (corn, rice, barley, wheat, potatoes, cassava, etc.), which are not produced in the family garden or in the agricultural property, can be purchased with the income that comes from the sale of food produced in the garden .
