Description
When farmers cannot grow enough crops to make a living, they may feel pressured to migrate, rent, or sell their land. The IAF supports community-led approaches to sustainable agriculture and income generation. Our grantee, oñoir? Is supporting farmers to increase production of organic yerba mate, a traditional beverage in paraguay and neighboring countries, and expand sales both nationally and internationally. Oñoir? Is also diversifying into a new product line of organic medicinal plants, such as stevia and lemon verbena, grown and sold by women smallholder producers. This grant is part of the IAF's women investing in growth and security (WINGS) initiative to empower women as business and community leaders.
