Since 2021, Rimisp has accompanied the indigenous civil association APROBA SANK, who have been working with Mayan Q’eqchi’ communities and authorities for over 20 years in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. SANK, in its mission to improve living conditions and achieve greater autonomy for local communities, has proposed the establishment of an Incentive Program for Diversified Peasant Production (PIN-Campesino).

The PIN-Campesino is the result of years of experimentation and co-creation with the communities, through which each year Farmer Schools are developed that function as a rural extension program with cultural relevance, focused on the diversification of production systems to improve food security, recover traditional practices and energize local markets.
