Our projects are located next to the communities of Ishichihui, Huaja and Agua Blanca and are based on an alternative landscape dynamic to what is observed in the region. We have designed an agroforestry system that integrates the local singularities. The aim is to combine the production of fine and aromatic cocoa varieties with the existing biodiversity anchors, the fauna and flora functions present in the ecological corridors, rivers and hedges.

The main challenge we face is the restoration of the soil and the fight against erosion, a sine qua non condition for the reconstruction of a territory. The first challenge, once the invasive weeds are under control, is to plant species capable of developing in difficult conditions to recreate a pedological dynamic and decompact these asphyxiated soils. Then, little by little, to replace these species with others that are more adapted, productive species, such as cocoa, and to build a plant succession that will lead, in the long run, to a diversified and productive agroforestry area, on a soil that is progressively regaining its fertility.
