Recovery of traditional milpa production practices to increase food security for rural families from the municipalities of Atiquizaya, Turn and San Lorenzo, department of Ahuachapn, El Salvador

Unsustainable production practices have put the health and food security of smallholder farmers and their families at risk in Ahuachapan, El Salvador. The IAF supports community-led solutions to increase incomes and promote sustainable agriculture and food security.

Our grantee partner the Asociacin Instituto Salvadoreo de Educacin Cooperativa y Agricultura Orgnica (ISEAC) works in six rural communities in the department of Ahuachapn to strengthen agricultural practices, such as increasing diversification and organic production, to boost food security and increase collaboration between producers to enhance their livelihoods.

This grant is part of the IAF's efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration in Central America.
