Descripción

This project will work with five agriculture-based community groups that are established and are implementing sustainable food production systems and nature-based enterprises but need support to strengthen their activities, develop their ideas and strategies, and access the market. A member's farm will be selected to establish a demonstration plot in sustainable food production and members who need support in nature-based enterprise development will be identified.
