Networks for Agri-Food Transformation
About the project
This project aims to support the sustainable transformation of agri-food systems in three rural territories in Latin America, contributing to the rescue and enhancement of agri-food practices being developed by indigenous and peasant communities in Mexico, Guatemala and Bolivia.
The main objective of the initiative, supported by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada, is that small-scale farmers from indigenous communities, mainly women and youth, lead the transformation of food systems towards more equitable, resilient and healthy systems, promoting the adoption and scaling up of social, technological and institutional innovations.
Our partners in the territories will be:
- Sierra Norte de Puebla, Mexico. Together with Cesder.
- Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. Together with Sank.
- Torotoro, Bolivia. Together with Prosuco.
