Mission

 Working together to create a just and sustainable world through transformative farmer training that nourishes communities and the Earth.

Purpose

More than half of the world’s tropical forests are already gone and we are losing the other half at the rate of one acre every second. As a result, more than half the species of plants and animals in the world are disappearing, along with carbon stores, which stabilize the global climate.

Did you know?
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), harmful farming practices are responsible for 90% of global deforestation. These unsustainable methods degrade soil health, reducing crop yields and food security. As productivity declines, farmers often clear and burn more forests to create new farmland—trapping them in a destructive cycle that threatens both people and the planet.

By adopting sustainable and regenerative practices, family farmers help heal the planet while feeding their communities.

Vision

People and the environment thriving in a healthy balance.

To date, Sustainable Harvest International has helped:

4,000 FAMILY farmers

restore 30,000 acres

while planting 5 million trees.

And we’re just getting started.

Regenerative AGRICULTURE

  • restores ecosystems,

  • feeds families, and

  • improves livelihoods.

Since 1997, Sustainable Harvest International has provided customized training to farming families in Central America.

Our programs empower family farmers to

  • adopt sustainable farming practices,

  • enhance small businesses, and

  • build self-sufficient communities.

“I must admit that before Sustainable Harvest International, I was a destroyer of the forest. I am very regretful of this. My field trainer has taken my blindfold off and made me conscious of the importance of protecting the forest.” 
— Adan Jose Rivera, SHI-Honduras farmer
