Context
The project is being implemented in twelve Indigenous communities in Mexico, where extensive grazing and deforestation for firewood are causing severe land degradation, water scarcity, and soil loss, resulting in low agricultural productivity. This IKI Small Grants project includes ecosystem restoration, agroforestry systems, and the strengthening of territorial governance structures.
Objective
Improve the capacities of local farmers through field schools, strengthening the innovations and traditional knowledge of Indigenous Mixtec producers.
Areas of work and impacts
Establish agricultural plots and monitor the agroecological practices implemented in cooperation with a local university. In addition, organized field trips promote the exchange of experiences and make the project results accessible to a wide range of local stakeholders.
