A Partnership to Pilot an Indicator Framework for Sustainable Agriculture in Latin America

Farmers are often absent from discussions about how policies and programs impact sustainable agricultural production.

At the IAF we are investing in a regional effort in conjunction with the University of British Columbia that will give voice to farmers and directly support them in collecting analyzing and presenting data that they can incorporate into their operations to manage their farms more efficiently.

Centro Campesino para el Desarrollo Sustentable A.C. (Campesino) established Mexico?s first recognized participatory certification system and the first network connecting producers directly to consumers to improve farmers? quality of life and consumers? food security.

It provides training and technical assistance programs that emphasize revitalizing traditional knowledge and farm practices that protect the environment and promote sustainable agricultural technologies.
