Presented By: Pete Noll

Event: ECHO International Agriculture Conference 2018 (13-11-2018)

Based on ten years of experience, I will share how Puente a la Salud Comunitaria (Bridges to Community Health) has utilized a participatory approach to engage more than 30 communities in the adoption of amaranth and the promotion of food sovereignty. It is worth noting that the region suffers from the dual burden of both malnourishment as well as the epidemic of diabetes and other chronic diseases. The talk will look to identify how our intervention has looked to use traditional practices and customs, such as self-organizing, collective action and agro-ecology.
