Organic agriculture through training in Paraje Poxotojá, Aldea Xesaná, Santa María Chiquimula, Totonicapán.
This project is about the establishment of two forestall nurseries (Pinus tecunumani) additional to the one already managed by the organization, to produce 100,000 reddish pine and alder trees, to diminish deforestation because of the destruction of the forests to be used wood as fuel; to having improved stoves in each house of the community, and to reduce emission of combustion gases and of the amount of fire wood used.

100 acres will be cultivated with potatoes and Creole broad beans ( Phaseolus vulagaris L and solanum tuberrosum) to improve their diet and for sale. Part of the tree production will also be used for commercialization.

All project?s participants will be trained in organic management of forestall nurseries and orchards, as well as in soil preservation techniques and management of stoves to be built to diminish the impact in the existing woods.
