The Maguey Project
The mounting effects of climate change have put new importance on our partners doing innovative crop development and reforestation. Vicente Guerrero is one such partnership doing work in the dry Mexican state of Tlaxcala. Their Maguey Project plants a more reliable agave variety, whose cultivation has been largely forgotten.
This project not only contribute towards climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, it also invite s community members to become custodians of the natural environment that holds them, while providing them an additional source of income.
