Keily says: “I am a farmer, I like planting a bit of everything. I’m also a kindergarten teacher, and a health promoter. I know a lot about herbs, and I have a herb garden near the house, herbs can be used as natural medicine, it’s better to use natural remedies if you can, and anyway, we can’t afford medicines here. With the project we’ve grown a lot of yuca, cassava, banana and plantain, but a lot of fruit trees too, guava and cacao, citrus trees”.

  • Firewood on sale on the side of the road in the dry corridor near San Lorenzo, Honduras. Farmers who've lost their crops because of the drought try to make ends meet by cutting down the trees they have to sell for firewood. Cutting down the trees exacerbates the drought and decreases the chances of recovery of the water table.

  • Alongside provisional shelters that stretch for miles outside San Pedro Sula, Diana's neighbour put up a Christmas tree and nativity scene on the roadside.<br />
<br />
The Christmas tree is a reminder that the global scientific community and faith-based groups across the world call out together for us all to take urgent action to slow climate change: to stop burning fossil fuels, and to start planting trees, a trillion trees need to be planted to absorb carbon from the atmosphere.<br />
<br />
And the nativity scene is a powerful reminder of Mary and Joseph who found no room at the inn and were forced to shelter and sleep with animals, the least suitable place imaginable for the birth of a baby. No one made room for them. We are all innkeepers today, deciding whether we have room for strangers, and whether we should help people who - like Mary and Joseph - have nowhere to go.

  • 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.

  • Arnaldo Hernández, COCASJOL, El Ocotillal, Colinas, Santa Barbara, Honduras. “Quite a few farms have been affected by the hurricanes. There’s not even a way in to the farms, the roads are ruined. And fungal diseases, ojo de gallo, leaf rust, we’ve got them. There’s been no support from the government, but the coop has given some people some fertilizer because the soil is washed out, to help restore the coffee trees.”

  • Yohanna de Socorro Calderón Flores in Los Chilamates, Carazo, Nicaragua: “before this project, we used to only farm the traditional produce, wheat, rice, beans, that was it, nothing more. 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”.

  • Jumanne Abdallah, champion of conservation agriculture in Tarime, Mara, Tanzania, has planted 1,700,000 trees on his 40 acre farm. This provides him with fuel security for cooking, for his large family of 15 children, and it provides him with an income when he needs it. He hires sawyers to square off lumber and sells it locally when he needs it.

  • A man brings an ox-drawn cart along the dry river bed of the Choluteca river in Honduras, carrying firewood. As the prolonged drought here, linked to climate change, continues, farmers resort to chopping down their trees to sell as firewood to make ends meet, further exacerbating the environmental crisis.

  • 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”.
