Within just two years of its creation, Fundación Alpina has become an important player in a national level in the Nutritional and Alimentary Security efforts (a national initiative that intends to guarantee nutrition and proper alimentation for every citizen). This institution, also intends to create collective prosperity in all aspects, from food security, to social and economic development.
