Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Our center works directly with indigenous communities and partners with other similarly focused entities.  Through this collaboration we combine traditional knowledge with modern science to reverse environmental damage that impacts our health and wellbeing. In addition to working with NGOs and the private sector, we partner with institutions of higher education to orient youth on climate friendly agricultural strategies that can improve yields and the living standard of farmers. The proposed project will help us expand our youth oriented educational sessions, internships, and outreach.

We are working to reduce the impact of agrichemical pollution on vulnerable communities and reducing recent increases in regional health problems linked to air and water pollution. Women bear the brunt of the uptick in cancer linked to contaminants in the environment and are willing campaigners for change. Communities in our region have long lobbied for a reduction in the contaminants that surround them but were locked into a monoculture dependent on agrochemicals. This project will help us to empower entire families in their quest for change by demonstrating that contaminant levels can be reduced while improving family income.
