Agriculture Program

Because of their rural setting, agriculture represents the most important economic activity for the Coordinadora's communities. Basing its programming heavily on education and training of local community members, the agriculture program succeeds because of training, technical assistance, and a shared vision of self-sufficient communities. The program includes education about crop diversification, alternative organic fertilizers, and the development of local seed nurseries to reduce dependence on outside providers. Hundreds of families have now applied these new techniques to improve their output, health, and pocketbooks.
