Economy for good living
The purpose of this strategic area is to accompany and support communities in their agricultural initiatives that lead them to dignify their living conditions. In other words, this area helps communities transition from vulnerability to sustainability. Sembrandopaz recognizes that peace cannot exist where hunger predominates, and that work on productive and economic sustainability is necessary.
In this area, in addition to working for food security and aiming for food sovereignty, an agroecological philosophy is built from environmental awareness that transcends mere practice and becomes a lifestyle that contributes to the protection and conservation of the ecosystems in which they operate, while also contributing to the productivity and income of local families. In this regard, the goal is for communities to identify and develop productive processes that respect the environment and become advocates for the conservation of natural resources. This work materializes in the development of home and community gardens, productive projects for the planting of traditional and alternative crops such as rice, yams, cassava, corn, sesame, among others, production of organic fertilizers. These actions value the endogenous model of peasant production, including rural technologies such as the use of biodigesters that use animal manure to produce cooking gas, among other actions carried out in the area.
“Anyone who takes advantage of Sembrandopaz can defend themselves anywhere.”
– Yarlis Salgado, Community Leader of Pichilín
