This month Fundación Tropicalia, under the scope of the USAID/REDDOM project, together with the Agricultural Producers Association Juan Pablo Duarte of the La Gina community, have taken the first steps toward constructing two 600 square metered greenhouses, destined to produce between one and two new vegetable and/or herb crops in the area. The objective in building these greenhouses is to diversify agricultural production in Miches by providing training, technical assistance and infrastructure needs to local farmers. As farmers put their greenhouses to work, and are able to place their produce in local markets, thereby increasing access to fresh vegetables at reasonable prices, all parties involved in this project are confident that it will grow over time and be self-sustaining.
