Planting Seeds For The Future: Re-Indigenizing Agriculture With The Vicente Guerrero Group (Maguey and Pynes Piñón)
The Vicente Guerrero group, in collaboration with EPIC, is spearheading an innovative project. By recovering prehispanic practices, the group is helping their community address several complex challenges, such as food insecurity, climate extremes, loss of biodiversity, and exclusion of women and youth. In the fight to mitigate climate change, metepantle systems will be fundamental!

Tempisque Rice – An EPIC Project Across Four Countries
After four years of trials, The Tempisque Project remains an exciting option to reduce food insecurity during the climate crisis. Planting indigenous upland rice, that is both drought-resistant and hurricane-tolerant, is one current strategy to combat serious food insecurity in these countries.

Education, Health Prevention and Environmental Awareness in Honduras – Jóvenes en Desarrollo
The Jóvenes en Desarrollo program is important not just for the children and youth who benefit from the services, but also for the people who design and implement the activities. In Honduras, completing schooling and having access to high professional training is a challenge. If people have the grit and opportunities to achieve such training, there are still limited options for career paths. This program not only brings education and health prevention to some of the most vulnerable children and youth in Honduras, but it also allows outstanding professionals to achieve their goal of using their training and professional skills to be of service to their community.
