Small-scale family farmers often face challenges such as limited access to capital, labor, or land, yet they can still build thriving businesses. Family farmers can develop flourishing businesses while supporting local food systems, food sovereignty, and sustainability. At Sustainable Harvest International (SHI), we train farmers in the skills they need to build sustainable livelihoods.

With only four ingredients, you likely have everything you need for this easy pineapple jam recipe in your cupboard already (besides the pineapple, that is!).

This recipe is part of SHI's work training smallholder farmers in creating value-added products that grow and diversify their income year-round.

Agricultural workers are notoriously undervalued, but none more so than women. This International Day of Rural Women (October 15) and World Food Day (October 16), we’re celebrating our world’s unsung food heroes. We hope that the words and stories of SHI’s female field trainers and partnering farmers inspire you, as they inspire us.
