The project is aimed at responding to the urgent primary needs of indigenous families in a state of malnutrition in the Municipality of Jocot\u00e1n, in the Dry Corridor of Guatemala <\/strong>– a country that ranks first in Latin America for chronic malnutrition rate – helping to ensure their food self-sufficiency through theoretical and practical training activities<\/strong>.<\/p>

The intervention, aimed at the indigenous communities of the Ch’orti’ ethnic group residing in two isolated villages in the area, aims to provide an immediate response to the food crisis that characterizes the area, aggravated by the increasingly harmful effects of climate change. <\/p>

The project contributes to strengthening the food security of local indigenous peoples, raising awareness of the importance of a healthy and balanced diet and promoting the socio-economic development of communities through an integrated approach that intervenes on sustainable agro-biological training, on the improvement of natural resource management and on the improvement of fruit and vegetable production in order to improve the availability and variety of food and vegetables. generate alternative sources of income for the economic and food self-subsistence of families.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
