Lubrizol volunteers supported ecological restoration and regenerative agriculture in Mexico’s Xochimilco Protected Natural Area through the Xochimilco, Beyond the Trajineras project.
More than 20 employees helped restore over 10 chinampa cultivation beds, harvest 20 kg of produce, and preserve traditional farming practices linked to biodiversity protection.
Working with local farmers and social organizations, the initiative also donated 300 kg of agroecological products to help prepare healthy meals for more than 50 young people.

Through the Xochimilco, Beyond the Trajineras project, our volunteers supported ecological restoration and regenerative agriculture in the Xochimilco Protected Natural Area in Mexico, combining environmental action with meaningful community engagement.

Over 20 employee volunteers participated in hands-on learning focused on traditional chinampa farming techniques, restoring more than 10 cultivation beds and plant seasonal crops including broccoli, beet, lettuce, and cauliflower. The initiative delivered tangible environmental outcomes on site, with 20 kg of produce harvested directly from the chinampas.

The project concluded with a strong social return to the community. In collaboration with five local chinampa farmers and two social organizations, 300 kg of agroecological products were donated, supporting the preparation of healthy meals for more than 50 young people.

This close partnership reinforced the connection between biodiversity preservation, cultural heritage, and social well-being.
