Our friends at Semilla Nueva have launched a campaign to raise $20,000 to expand production of pigeonpea in Guatemala. The program will run through Dec 12th. Proceeds will be used as follows:
- Provide seed to 2000 farmers in 2014
- build a seed bank
- experiment with different varieties
- host education programs
- promote new recipes
- connect with international markets
Pigeonpea has incredible promise to bring our farmers out of poverty.
