The annual ProHuerta strategy (a national Argentinian programme destinated to promote vegetable gardens and to grow own food) makes adjustments at the territorial level, based on experience and programmatic directives. In 2017, ICT were incorporated into a plan that included the online registration of seed delivery information, the on-site monitoring of an area identified as vulnerable and the collaborative monitoring through information sended by the gardener’s WhatsApp. The results provide a characterization of the population on the programme in this area, on the autumn-winter campaign, a concrete modality of implementing the digital registry and geolocation of the vegetable gardens through accessible and free Google tools, and some reflections on about how to think and to work with the notion of vulnerability that characterizes the target population of ProHuerta.
