“We bought this plot of land, we’d been living up in the mountains, but life is too hard there, I’ve been working with the advice of the CIEETS team, I’m not just planting corn and beans, we can’t rely on just that now because the rain is unpredictable, we need to grow other things, yuca, fruits, we need shade, we need ground cover to protect the soil, chickens for eggs and meat, different varieties of bananas and plantains, pitahaya, lemons. We hope the project continues, we’re learning a lot, this plot will be really good in a few years”.
