Para muchos residentes de Nueva Jersey, el verano significa disfrutar de productos frescos de huertos y puestos agr\u00edcolas locales. Sin embargo, muchos residentes de comunidades urbanas de bajos ingresos carecen de f\u00e1cil acceso a frutas y verduras frescas de la granja a la mesa, as\u00ed como a los espacios verdes que estos huertos ofrecen. Jos\u00e9 Germ\u00e1n-G\u00f3mez, de Montclair, se propuso remediarlo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jos\u00e9 lanz\u00f3 el Coalici\u00f3n de la Tierra del Noreste<\/a> (NEEC) en 2015 para proteger el medio ambiente y promover la sostenibilidad local y la seguridad alimentaria a nivel comunitario. NEEC cuenta con cuatro programas que cumplen su misi\u00f3n: extensi\u00f3n comunitaria, productores urbanos, una red alimentaria comunitaria e iniciativas ambientales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jos\u00e9 cre\u00f3 NEEC para cerrar una brecha importante que observ\u00f3 en el movimiento ambiental: una brecha que brindaba oportunidades para empoderar a l\u00edderes comunitarios que trabajan desde la base y que a menudo son ignorados por las organizaciones sin fines de lucro m\u00e1s grandes. Quer\u00eda apoyar y colaborar con l\u00edderes comunitarios, especialmente con aquellos involucrados en la restauraci\u00f3n ambiental y los jardines polinizadores (que contribuyen al desarrollo de las poblaciones de mariposas y abejas). Cuando fund\u00f3 NEEC, participaron 48 grupos comunitarios. Hoy, NEEC trabaja directamente con ocho grupos y tiene v\u00ednculos con otros cuatro en el norte de Nueva Jersey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

La organizaci\u00f3n sin fines de lucro tambi\u00e9n asesora a los municipios en la creaci\u00f3n de huertos comunitarios para facilitar el acceso a alimentos saludables a los residentes de bajos ingresos; adem\u00e1s, apoya peque\u00f1as granjas familiares, proyectos de agricultura urbana y la producci\u00f3n de alimentos en el hogar. Jos\u00e9 imparte talleres y capacita a cientos de voluntarios que gestionan proyectos y huertos comunitarios de hortalizas y polinizadores en los condados de Essex, Morris y Passaic, que nutren a los residentes de la zona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCuando contamos con un sistema alimentario local s\u00f3lido, la salud de toda nuestra comunidad se beneficia\u201d, dijo Jos\u00e9, destacando el impacto de los peque\u00f1os huertos comunitarios de su organizaci\u00f3n sin fines de lucro, conformados exclusivamente por voluntarios, que llegan a residentes de 11 municipios. Siete de los huertos comunitarios de NEEC abastecen a varios comedores populares de la zona con miles de kilos de productos frescos cada a\u00f1o, y uno de ellos es utilizado por los residentes locales para alimentar directamente a sus familias. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los voluntarios y l\u00edderes municipales de NEEC aprenden de un experto en la materia. Jos\u00e9 es Maestro Jardinero Certificado del Condado de Essex, Administrador Ambiental Certificado de Rutgers y Maestro Ecologista Certificado de Duke Farm. Tambi\u00e9n recibi\u00f3 el Premio Russ Berrie "Marcando la Diferencia" 2023, reconocido por sus importantes contribuciones a las comunidades a las que sirven los jardines y proyectos de NEEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los beneficios sociales de los huertos comunitarios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Los ocho jardines comunitarios que administra NEEC brindan y preservan espacios verdes, promueven la gesti\u00f3n ambiental y mejoran la seguridad alimentaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cParte de fortalecer nuestro sistema alimentario y mejorar la salud de la comunidad es educar a la gente sobre la importancia de los productos agr\u00edcolas y otros alimentos cultivados localmente y de manera sostenible\u201d, dijo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explic\u00f3 que los cuatro programas principales de NEEC est\u00e1n dise\u00f1ados para apoyar temas espec\u00edficos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Nuestro programa principal es apoyar iniciativas ambientales mediante la promoci\u00f3n de pr\u00e1cticas de jardiner\u00eda sostenibles. La concienciaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica tambi\u00e9n es importante, y trabajamos para que los residentes conozcan mejor los problemas que enfrenta nuestro planeta, especialmente a nivel local. NEEC tambi\u00e9n patrocina campa\u00f1as de limpieza que atraen a cientos de voluntarios, as\u00ed como campa\u00f1as de defensa del medio ambiente. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

La organizaci\u00f3n gestiona nueve proyectos de restauraci\u00f3n ambiental (cuatro en Florham Park, cinco en Montclair y Bloomfield), donde voluntarios plantan flora nativa, construyen jardines de lluvia y desarrollan jardines para polinizadores en espacios p\u00fablicos y privados. Jos\u00e9 y su equipo tambi\u00e9n colaboran estrechamente con escuelas p\u00fablicas para ense\u00f1ar a los estudiantes sobre plantas nativas y c\u00f3mo crear h\u00e1bitats y jardines para polinizadores.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La organizaci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n cre\u00f3 un programa comunitario de compostaje en 10 localidades de Montclair. Las plantas de compostaje han procesado m\u00e1s de 50 toneladas de residuos, convirtiendo lo que habr\u00eda ido al vertedero en fertilizante para los huertos comunitarios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e1s all\u00e1 del huerto para combatir la inseguridad alimentaria y concienciar al p\u00fablico<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

La labor comunitaria es fundamental para la misi\u00f3n del NEEC, raz\u00f3n por la cual Jos\u00e9 y su equipo crearon la Red Comunitaria de Alimentos en octubre de 2020, en colaboraci\u00f3n con 14 iglesias y sinagogas. La red gestiona el Proyecto Free Little Pantry, con 18 sucursales en cinco localidades del norte de Nueva Jersey, para proporcionar alimentos no perecederos a personas en situaci\u00f3n de inseguridad alimentaria. Las despensas son monitoreadas las 24 horas del d\u00eda, los 7 d\u00edas de la semana, los 365 d\u00edas del a\u00f1o por m\u00e1s de 225 voluntarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desde su inicio (con una sede en Montclair), el proyecto ha distribuido m\u00e1s de 1.2 millones de libras de alimentos donados para apoyar a m\u00e1s de 6,000 personas. Solo en 2024, distribuy\u00f3 380,000 libras de alimentos, sin financiaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cSiempre buscamos nuevas colaboraciones para fomentar conexiones con residentes, organizaciones locales y l\u00edderes comunitarios, y motivar a las personas a unirse a la comunidad\u201d, dijo. \u201cAlgunos de nuestros voluntarios tambi\u00e9n cultivan hortalizas en sus casas y donan sus productos, y NEEC dona productos frescos de nuestros huertos comunitarios\u201d. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Defensores de la justicia ambiental <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

La justicia ambiental consiste en garantizar que ninguna comunidad o grupo est\u00e9 expuesto desproporcionadamente a riesgos ambientales ni se vea afectado por circunstancias ambientales negativas. Tambi\u00e9n implica ampliar el acceso a alimentos saludables, agua potable y espacios verdes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEEC impulsa continuamente la legislaci\u00f3n local que mejora el medio ambiente. Impuls\u00f3 varias ordenanzas relacionadas con la protecci\u00f3n ambiental, como la prohibici\u00f3n de pesticidas, la jardiner\u00eda comunitaria y la promoci\u00f3n de las energ\u00edas renovables y la conservaci\u00f3n de la energ\u00eda en las comunidades locales. Asesora a organizaciones y particulares locales, exige mejores pol\u00edticas energ\u00e9ticas y participa en proyectos energ\u00e9ticos locales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La organizaci\u00f3n aboga por el desarrollo de un transporte p\u00fablico accesible, confiable y asequible, y anima a las personas a hacer algo tan sencillo como caminar o andar en bicicleta como medios de transporte ecol\u00f3gicos. Y, por supuesto, Jos\u00e9 trabaja incansablemente para promover huertos comunitarios y as\u00ed crear lugares m\u00e1s saludables para vivir, con mayor acceso a alimentos saludables para m\u00e1s personas. La organizaci\u00f3n invita a personas de todo el mundo a unirse en apoyo a las energ\u00edas renovables y a triplicar la generaci\u00f3n global de electricidad limpia para 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n

\u201cInspirar a la gente es uno de los aspectos m\u00e1s destacados de nuestro trabajo. Todos somos voluntarios apasionados, unidos por la visi\u00f3n de comunidades sostenibles, y buscamos inspirar a otros a replicar nuestro trabajo en jardines y proyectos ambientales\u201d, dijo Jos\u00e9.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Jos\u00e9 atribuye a su Premio Marcando la Diferencia el haber impulsado la visibilidad de su organizaci\u00f3n a nivel estatal. Posteriormente, recibi\u00f3 el Premio Marcando la Diferencia de Acci\u00f3n por la Paz de Nueva Jersey 2024 y fue reconocido por su labor por el Senado y la Asamblea Estatales.
