Good Agricultural Practices

In Nicaragua, coffee farmers are transforming the way they cultivate their land to face the challenges of climate change head-on. They are adopting key practices such as agroforestry design and improvement, tissue management, soil restoration and responsible wastewater management.

In April 2020, Philemon Cheruiyot, a youth leader from Sorwot Farmers Cooperative Society in Kericho County, embarked on a journey that would redefine his career and impact his community. With technical support from Solidaridad through the Traceable Organic Coffee Kenya (TRACE Kenya) project, Philemon took on a new role as a Trainer of Trainers. Within his role, he immersed himself in the world of sustainable agricultural practices, paving the way for both his personal growth and community empowerment.

María Isabel turned a childhood legacy into a mission. When climate change threatened her cocoa farm, the Asómbrate programme offered the solution: agroforestry. Her success in achieving climate resilience and long-term productivity shows how empowerment, tradition, and sustainability can power rural development.
