Sustainable Practices Research

To help create a more sustainable future, we must find new ways of meeting our needs in more efficient ways. For example, our Agroforest program aims to help us build food systems that are not reliant on chemical inputs. Another way is Aquaponics, a system that grows plants and fish while saving water use by cycling the water between two growing beds. 
We are working on bringing these technologies to rural communities in Northern Peru, that are often unable to have access to such knowledge. We are hoping to implement the technology into the local communities with environmental, economic, and cultural considerations which is why we are working with groups in Northern Peru.
