Building for a brighter future

"I work this land with my son...we’re building something new, for our children and the next generation." — Fausto Rodríguez Gómez, farmer, Llano Bajo, Chiapas, Mexico

In rural parts of Chiapas, Mexico’s southernmost state, economic inequality and land disputes have left many households facing food insecurity. MCC partner Institute of Intercultural Studies and Research provides training and resources to local farmers like Fausto Rodríguez Gómez. He has learned about subjects like natural fertilizers and insecticides and received materials like chicken coop netting.
