Sustainable Harvest International (SHI) works with families in Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama to help them transition from slash-and-burn agriculture to more sustainable farming practices that protect forests and increase incomes. SHI trains local field staff who work directly with families, teaching techniques like composting, crop rotation, and planting trees. As a result of SHI's work over 12,000 acres have been converted to sustainable uses, over 60,000 acres of forest have been protected, and more than 2.6 million trees have been planted, improving livelihoods and the environment.
