About us
Healthy families and forests are not mutually exclusive. Local food production improves human health, preserves cultural traditions, and protects natural resources. Recent research confirms what many have known for millennia – diverse agroecosystems can improve human health and protect the environment. Conservation of natural habitats depends upon effectively managing agroecosystems to support rural livelihoods, food security, and biodiversity. Integrating diverse farming systems with natural habitats is one strategy to achieve multiple human and environmental targets, especially in places like Central America and on US Tribal Lands. An increasing global population places immense pressure on lands as demand for food grows. The majority of the world’s food is produced by Indigenous and local communities, yet malnutrition in these same communities has not improved in recent decades.
