Arlington López, Dos Quebradas, Olancho: I have peppers, yuca and avocado planted here, and I now I have a good irrigation system. I’m using techniques I’ve learned on this programme, conservation agriculture, I did the trainings, and put the knowledge into practice, and it’s paying off. The irrigation system I turn on every morning, I’m fertilizing soil with compost, and it’s holding the moisture and providing nutrients to the plants. I also learned how to run a chicken farm, producing chicken for meat. The margins are quite low, it’s a volume business, the more you do, the more you earn, but I feel confident with the training I’ve done, and the experience I’m getting, that I can turn this into quite a profitable and sustainable business here. I’ve been selling locally, and the chicken I produce isn’t injected with water, it tastes better because it is better and people know that.
