Strengthening the capacity of 500 families in Grosse Roche through sustainable agriculture

Families living in Grosse-Roche in Haiti’s North East department face diminishing forest cover poor soil quality and a lack of agricultural supplies hampering their ability to produce food and exacerbating malnutrition and hunger risks.

The IAF supports community-led solutions to expand economic opportunities through sustainable agriculture and micro-enterprises.

Our grantee partner Groupe d’Appui au Développement Rural (GADRU) provides training in sustainable agriculture livestock production and business development for 500 families from the community-based organization Association des Familles Agro-écologiques de Grosse-Roche .

It also maintains a seed bank and distributes seedlings and its participants are distributing their livestock’s offspring to other families as their herds grow. These strategic investments increase farmers’ food security and incomes.
