Project Description:
In general terms the project aims to contribute to generating a change in the current production models in Talamanca, by developing aprocess for training farmers and land owners prior to the planning and implementation stages of a project for the integral management of farms. This integrates components of livestock, agriculture, and forestry, and also incorporates clean energy production and proper waste disposal, with the goal of producing greater benefit to the household economy. It is hoped the results of this process contribute to and/or salvage a viable alternative for the local population, that it is conducive to diversification of the family economy, improvement in nutritional requirements, conservation of the environment and above all that it eliminates the dependence on non-sustainable productive models that require external raw materials.
General Objective:
To contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of farmers in Bratsi, Sixaola and Cahuita by improving their productive capacity and increasing family income.
Specific Objectives:
Start Date: February 2009
End Date: February 2010

Project Description:
To create natural barriers that mitigate the negative impacts of floods occurring in the canton due to intense rains by planting different species of trees along the banks of the Sixaola River with the collaboration and direct inclusion of the neighboring farm owners. In addition this generates a process of including different species which allows the transition, little by little, of the existing monoculture in the area to a system in which the small farmer has other sources of income and greater independence. This project has been carried out in collaboration with different local organizations.
General Objective:
To contribute to the mitigation of the effects of the crisis that occurred in the Talamanca region, caused by the floods that affected the canton.
Specific Objectives:
Start Date: May 2009
End Date: May 2010
