Environmental friendly use of deforested areas in five communities of Sololá, that are located at the outskirts of Pecul Volcano
OBJECTIVES:
To promote organic agroforestry practices in five groups of women of the same number of communities using native species of perennial (cocoa, vanilla, allspice, annato, cushin) and annual crops (jicama and beans) that serve as green soil coverage.
This project will allow stakeholders from 5 communities, all of them women, to establish an agroforestal system on deforested areas.
The project includes a training component on the cultivation of the proposed crops and commercialization methods to promote sustainability.
