  • Faustino de Jesús Cortés Cortés is from La Vainilla, La Conquista, Carazo, Nicaragua. “I’ve been working with CIEETS, and they’ve helped us with fruit trees, mangos, papaya and other fruits, they’re just maturing and we’ll get some fruit from them soon. We have citrus fruits, we’ve built level curves, barriers, we have natural medicines like lemon grass, we have pitahayas, achiote – which is good for the bees, but it’s also good for cooking, we use it ourselves, and it’s better than what you find in the shops. We have ornamental plants too, flowering plants for the bees. All this is good for us, for the family. We haven’t had a lot of success with the Meliponas, yet, but we will, we’ll keep trying. We have planted a lot of achiote, the bees love it. We have papaya, plenty of yuca, and plenty of quequisque that’s good for the nutrition, it’s the basics, and we have coconut, and peaches, star fruit. As all this goes up, we are creating the best conditions for the family to live well, it’s all new, we planted it all with CIEETS. What we want is to carry on improving, and all this will strengthen us. CIEETS has helped us move forwards”.

  • Pitahaya is a cactus that gives the bright magenta Dragon Fruit, it begins growing from the soil, and grows up trees, eventually leaving the soil behind and living entirely on the bark of the tree disconnected from the soil. CIEETS has been promoting the fruit with CWS-support as part of a diversification program.

  • José Misael Selva Umaña, is promotor of agriculture in Carazo. “I’ve planted fruit trees, I monitor the rainfall in the area, and I work with the hives, I’m a meloponiculturalist. I have several hives already, this is a good initiative with the bees, it’s medicinal, the honey. And that’s a good thing for the family, and also it’s something we sell, we make some money from it. I’ve got oranges, lemons, bitter lemons, and ornamentals to attract the bees, so the bees don’t go very far. I also have calala and other fruit. Some of the hives are in logs, cut straight from the trees, others are in technified wooden boxes, that help us divide them and harvest the honey without disturbing them much. I have different types of bees too. And, we’ve got a good well from the project too, it’s clean”.

You've seen here, it's hard work, up here in the hills it's harder than down on the flat. This is a small farm, and an organic farm, we need more help than farms that produce hundreds and thousands of boxes. Helping small scale producers keeps a lot of people in work.<br />

Melipona doesn’t produce much honey, compared to the bees with stings, but it’s special honey, and we can sell it. I’ve had 11 hives, but we’ve been affected by a disease so I’ve only got six right now. The CIEETS team has taught us all about it. I’ve also had three pigs, through the project. I was given 25 chicks, and we were taught how to manage poultry, now I have 200 chickens.

Our eldest son is beginning to study medicine at university, we’re paying for that with the profit we make from the chickens.”

Not now though, we the new methodologies that we’ve learned, through the trainings and workshops. On my farm we have level curves, wind barriers, we are diversified. CIEETS has taught us all of that. We’ve set up a seed bank, because of the high risk of losing seed in drought or flooding. We’re planting yucca, bananas, plantains, fruit trees, citrus, pitahaya, lots of things. And now we have hygienic wells, covered up, nothing gets in them, with a pump. Before we had buckets and a rope, and stuff got into it. And, with the chickens, well, that is good for our own consumption, and to sell, we’ve made money from it”.

  • Ricardo Umaña Aragón "we've grown bananas, fruit trees, mango, guava, peach, papaya, custard apple, jocote, and they gave us seeds for cucumbers, squash. And they gave me a toilet. And here they've taught us to become economical and organic, we don't use any bought synthetic chemical fertilizer or insecticide, it's all natural. And I've been working with poultry too. And, you should see, since I've done all this, all the iguanas have come back, they've built a nest here, I love seeing them, I won't kill them. And birds come here, tucans, parrots, everything. I am really impressed with what happens on a farm when you only use organic material".

  • Luis López Traña, Los Chilamates, El Gigante. “In the last couple of years, we’ve planted fruit trees, bananas and plantains, we’ve learned to make reservoirs to store rain water, we’ve learned to make organic compost for fertiliser, and we’ve learned about foliar sprays, that’s how to fertilise a plant by spraying the leaves, we’ve had quite a few workshops, and it helps us to use what we have on the farm, to economise, to save money, for example we can make insect repellents, to prevent plant disease, we can control disease, we’ve learned how to do that. That’s why I think this program is excellent. We are looking for local strategies, to resolve our problems, confront the problems we’re getting from climate change across the country. We’ve already had benefits from this project and we want to carry on, we are enthusiastic about it”.

Melipona doesn’t produce much honey, compared to the bees with stings, but it’s special honey, and we can sell it. I’ve had 11 hives, but we’ve been affected by a disease so I’ve only got six right now. The CIEETS team has taught us all about it. I’ve also had three pigs, through the project. I was given 25 chicks, and we were taught how to manage poultry, now I have 200 chickens. I have planted about 500 trees, coconut, mandarin, lemon, orange, papaya, grenadine, passion fruit, bananas, plantains, lots of yuca, and more.” <br />

Rosa Lilian says: “Thank God, we’ve had this project with CIEETS, we got the chicks, the team taught us about poultry management, and we’ve been selling the chicken, it’s helped us a lot economically, we’ve been able to help our children and pay for their education. Our eldest son is beginning to study medicine at university, we’re paying for that with the profit we make from the chickens.”
