Change starts with you
Why we need your help
-
Around 60% of households in Mexico experience some degree of food insecurity, at the same time 35% of food produced by our current agriculture system is wasted. We are developing the capacity to recover over 1,000 metric tons of healthy, fresh produce per year and distribute it to more than 8,000 families who lack reliable food access.
​
-
Climate change, dwindling supplies of freshwater, and diminishing availability of arable and productive land in BCS puts the future of food security at risk. In our efforts to promote a sustainable production model and strengthen food sovereignty, we are forming a network of agroecological producers strengthened through innovative business models and accessible financing
​
-
Beyond limited access to healthy, fresh food, personal and professional development resources that address the root causes of food insecurity are extremely limited in expanding informal settlements surrounding Los Cabos and La Paz. Your efforts prioritize providing access to education that strengthens families abilities to regenerate the social fabric and build resilient, healthy communities.
