Project Overview
La
Semilla Food Center has enhanced the success and sustainability of beginning
farmers in the colonia areas of the Chihuahuan Desert ecoregion, strengthening a network of agroecological-focused farmers who
understand desert farming and can contribute to a vibrant food system that
prioritizes community and environmental health. Agroecology is an essential
practice for desert farming that can help the limited-resource farmers of this
ecoregion develop ways to work with nature to improve profits. Already, the
project had leveraged long-standing partnerships to provide beginning farmer
fellows with the knowledge skills, tools, and network needed to make informed
agroecological decisions.
