Sustainable Harvest International provides technical assistance and training to over 2,000 families in rural communities across four countries to promote sustainable farming practices. Some of its accomplishments include converting over 14,000 acres of degraded land to sustainable uses, planting over 70,000 acres of tropical forest, and establishing community loan funds totaling $70,000. For a relatively small amount of funding, SHI is able to support its work training field technicians and implementing village programs. However, there is still more work to be done to help the thousands still waiting.
