Grant Description

Asociacin de Organizaciones del Corredor Biolgico Talamanca Caribe (ACBTC).

With technical assistance from the ACBTC, African descendent farmers will renovate their cacao plants, work toward certification of their farms as organic, cultivate native fruit trees and diversify their crops. Training in leadership and planning will help them organize to market their products.
