San Jose - Colombia

In a region called Cauca, they have an initiative they’re trying to propagate after seeing success on their estate farms. The idea is to eliminate synthesized chemical additives to the plants and soil and create a bio-fertilizer production facility in the area run by farmers for the community. This has trickle-down effects not only on the health and well-being of the soil and water run-off, but also on the financial sustainability of the community. Farmers can run the production and make secondary income while also being able to offer a less expensive option to their community farmers looking to fertilize their land.
