Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sustainable Harvest International?
A non-profit that provides training and tools to rural farmers in Central America. Our partner farmers reforest the land, adopt sustainable farming practices, and restore the soil. They grow organic food without chemicals, leading to better health for their families. They also learn how to manage a small business. Learn more here.

Where do you work?
Belize, Honduras, and Panama. 

What do you do?
Our locally-hired field trainers work with families, individuals, and communities to implement sustainable farming practices. Through techniques like agroforestry, organic vegetable gardens, and seed saving, families learn how to produce healthy food for their families, protect ecosystems, and increase their incomes. We use an innovative five-phase approach to solving the agricultural, ecological, and economic problems of Central America. This approach is hands-on and long-term, so families may continue to practice the skills they learned long after they graduate.

How can I get involved?
There are many ways! Here are twenty ways to get you started. You can volunteer, donate (in more ways than one), partner with us, sign up for our email list, participate in an event, or follow us on social media.

Can I visit your programs in Central America?
We have reduced international travel since the COVID-19 pandemic. Learn more here.

What's your stance on GMOs?
We do not promote GMOs or other technologies that have not yet been proven safe. Since most GMOs are costly for farmers and designed to work in combination with costly, toxic pesticides, they do not fit with our commitment to growing in harmony with nature and farmers.

What's your stance on climate change?
We agree with the United Nation’s Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and recognize that climate change “is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere.”
