Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) has established two greenhouses in Mexico which will provide food to 300,000 people in a year, the state-run agency said on Monday.

The greenhouses were established in Iztapalapa district of Mexico City, where migration from rural areas and inadequate public services have rendered a large population marginalized, according to a statement.

The vegetables produced at the greenhouses will be distributed to needy families.

Education on vegetable cultivation will also be provided to women, it added.
