| Project Detail |
THE VILLAGE EL PORTACHUELO-LA ESMERALDA LOCATED IN THE CAPITAL PARISH ZEA, OF THE STATE OF MÉRIDA, IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE PRODUCTION OF BANANA AND COFFEE, MAINLY, WHICH ARE MARKETED TO THE TWO (02) ONLY INTERMEDIARIES THAT SET PRICES IN UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR THE PRODUCERS. THE NEED TO GENERATE GREATER INCOME HAS LED TO FARMERS TO USE AGROCHEMICALS AND OTHER TECHNIQUES THAT ARE NOT FRIENDLY WITH THE ENVIRONMENT THAT NOT ONLY DEGRADE THE SOILS, ALSO AFFECT THE OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE ECOSYSTEM, INCLUDING THE HEALTH OF FAMILIES. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO STRENGTHEN THE CAPACITIES OF TWENTY (20) FAMILIES FOR THE AGROECOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT OF BANANA, SEEKING THE RECOVERY OF FORTY HECTARES (40 HA) OF DEGRADED SOILS, AND GENERATE SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS THROUGH THE CREATION OF LOCAL FAIR TRADE NETWORKS FOR ORGANIC BANANA PRODUCERS. ITS ACHIEVEMENT WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO SDGs 1, 5 AND 15 Project Number:VEN/SGP/OP7/Y4/STAR/LD/2023/08 |
