Spanish term or phrase: incorporan en la mentalidad de los padres
Same context:

Es de esta forma que estas alternativas productivas además de contribuir en la economía familiar de los niños y niñas que presentan problemas de nutrición, incorporan en la mentalidad de los padres la necesidad de seguir produciendo su parcela para beneficiar a toda su familia.

Podria quedar como: "...they make parents to consider continuing producing....?

agree  David Hollywood: very nice :) either option is good :) although I now think that "instill" is a wee bit too strong ... np and removed mine as I think your ideas are fine :)

  -> Cheers David :) as is brainwashing? I thought your answer was pretty good as it happens, considering that it suggested that this was something they already do and think about. So, perhaps "encourage parents to continue..."

impress upon the parents


Explanation:
This phrase is used a lot in community and health health programmes. It also sounds a bit less 'biblical' than the answer proposed, good though it is.
