Training to Expand Eco-Agriculture (TREE)
For over 27 years, Sustainable Harvest International (SHI) has partnered with small-scale farming communities in Central America to transition from environmentally harmful practices to regenerative and sustainable farming. In Honduras, deforestation has surged over the last two decades primarily due to unsustainable land use. Ecosystem degradation has increased poverty rates and reduced crop yields, leaving rural farming families increasingly vulnerable to extreme weather and limiting their ability to feed themselves and their communities. This lack of opportunity, especially for women and youth, restricts both income generation and access to healthy food. The TREE program directly addresses these challenges by building on SHI’s proven farmer-to-farmer mentorship and training model, now enhanced with small business development and local market linkages. TREE is improving livelihoods, strengthening food security, and restoring ecosystems.GeographiesHondurasDatesSep 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2027SourceUser-generatedAgriculture, fishing and forestry,Community and economic development,EnvironmentHonduran Community,Indigenous peoples,Farmers1.3K–Belize Program
Belize’s country program is our smallest yet mightiest. Our dedicated team builds close relationships with farmers to share practical, sustainable farming strategies that improve well-being and the country’s tropical forests. The sugarcane industry and other large, conventional agricultural industries dominate the local economy. High deforestation rates and increasing development make this environmentally rich and biodiverse landscape an important focus. Native flora and fauna are vulnerable to extinction due to devastating agricultural practices. Belize map with Corozal highlighted. SHI’s Belize program partners with local conservation organizations to increase the size of biological corridors, so native animals such as iconic jaguars can be further protected.GeographiesBelize;Corozal, BelizeDatesMay 1, 1999 – …SourceUser-generatedAgriculture, fishing and forestry,EnvironmentBelizian Community1.1K–Honduras Program
Honduras’ country program is our largest and oldest program, noted for its commitment to community participation and empowerment. Logging and slash-and-burn agriculture have destroyed or damaged large parts of Honduras’ once-pristine tropical forests. Erosion now devastates the country’s mountains and hills, which cover close to 80% of Honduras’ land area. Farming along mountain slopes presents distinct challenges for rural farmers, especially as many areas are now plagued with infertile soil that does not produce food or support plants. SHI’s Honduras program is leading the charge on regenerative methods by innovating, evolving, and scaling our 27-year-old model to further develop sustainable agribusinesses.GeographiesSiguatepeque, Comayagua, HondurasDatesMay 1, 1999 – …SourceUser-generatedAgriculture, fishing and forestry,Community and economic development,EnvironmentAge groups,Honduran Community,Indigenous peoples2K–
