Grant Description

IPHAE will expand and consolidate agriculturally diversified parcels located in secondary and degraded forest areas, support small-scale pig-farming and beekeeping, and develop products processed from the fruit of peach palm, cacao and other native plants.

Some 500 families from 60 communities in five municipalities in the Beni and Riberalta departments are expected to benefit from a more reliable food supply and better income and the adoption of a sustainable agro- forestry farming technology for this Amazonian micro- region.
