In July 2022, Sustainable Harvest International (SHI) Belize launched Scaling Positive Agriculture (SPA), a new project that forges cross-sector alliances to promote biodiverse agroforestry systems in the northern districts of Belize.
Through partnerships and alliances, SPA will train a significant segment of Belize’s farming population as they adopt climate-friendly farming practices that provide a viable alternative to conventional agriculture.
Agricultural workers are notoriously undervalued, but none more so than women. This International Day of Rural Women (October 15) and World Food Day (October 16), we’re celebrating our world’s unsung food heroes. We hope that the words and stories of SHI’s female field trainers and partnering farmers inspire you, as they inspire us.
