Strengthen the network of farmer family cooperatives (FECOCAF) in agroecological primary production, value addition and marketing of fruit, vegetable, and animal products.

Farming families in rural Mendoza province have limited access to water land or the resources to invest in improving their livelihoods.

The IAF supports community-led solutions for farming families and their communities to expand their economic opportunities and food security in Argentina.

Our grantee partner Federación de Cooperativas Campesinas y de la Agricultura Familiar (FECOCAF) will promote sustainable agricultural production and marketing of value-added products to improve farmers’ food security and income and provide healthy food to consumers at affordable prices.

FECOCAF will scale up a model that provides training and technical assistance to farmers.

This training and technical assistance will help farmers adapt and adopt sustainable agricultural production and marketing practices that increase their capacity to produce food for consumption and sale.
