Project Description
Carlos and Esther's land had not been worked on for many years because it required a lot of energy and money to produce on it since the slope is very steep and has high erosion rates. An agroforestry system design was carried out which includes fruit trees, timber, maguey and cactus. With this the owners seek to have a diversity of products for their diet and also to sell within the community. Furthermore, in the corridors that remained within the project, the brothers want to herd their cow or their sheep.
The contour lines were marked with an “A” device, leaving four meters between crop lines. For planting, large round holes were made and compost was placed inside some of them. For the plantation we have volunteers from Cien Mil Razones, Aire Libre and KrispyKreme.
Stakeholders and local communities involved in the project
Fomento Social Citibanamex, Aire Libre, Cien Mil Razones and Carlos and Esther who are the owners of the land, the ones who maintain the trees on a daily basis and the ones who will obtain the benefits of this system.
Project Goals
Implementation of resilient agroforestry systems for food production and economic occupation for a Matlazinca family.
Co-benefits
Production of nopales for human consumption, production of maguey for fences, silo of maguey stalks for cattle and production of pulque, production of apples for human consumption. All these products are by-products of this project and the beneficiary may sell or consume them for economic or nutritional benefits.
