Family gardens and animal husbandry are the starting point for food security in remote communities. By helping families grow vegetables, raise chickens or goats, households gain reliable access to nutritious food and improve daily diets. Across communities in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Haiti, families are producing fresh vegetables, raising livestock, farming fish, and keeping bees—reducing hunger while building dignity and self-reliance through local food production.

As families gain skills and confidence, impact expands through seeds-to-market initiatives that strengthen local economies. Farmers in Peru are growing cacao, communities in Colombia are cultivating plantain and blackberries, and producers in Honduras are raising livestock and managing shrimp and fish farms. These initiatives help farmers increase yields, diversify crops, and bring surplus products to local and regional markets—creating stable income alongside improved food availability.

Together, these efforts revive communities and entire regions while helping families build a future where they live. By creating reliable food systems and local income opportunities, communities are better able to remain rooted rather than being forced to migrate to overcrowded cities in search of survival—a cycle that often deepens urban poverty. From beekeeping in Honduras and Haiti to vegetable, livestock, and fish farming in El Salvador, integrated agriculture programs secure food, improve nutrition, generate sustainable income, and help stabilize families and communities for generations to come.
