Is a coffee cooperative in the northern mountains of Cauca, Colombia. Communities are remote and spread out. Like most coffee-farming communities, the majority of farming families here struggle with food insecurity. The cooperative has limited resources for crucial development work to overcome this problem. We began working with COMEPCAFE in 2016, co-designing our food security program with this organization to reflect their desire to implement a variety of strategies. These included the creation of home gardens, participation in farmers’ markets, recruiting and training new community promoters and revitalizing traditional crop production and recipes.
