Description:
The EU recently adopted requirements for certain commodity imports, like coffee, to eliminate deforestation among other measures. Honduran coffee producers are scrambling to establish or update practices and systems to comply with the new regulations or they could be at risk of losing their certifications and buyers in those higher value markets. The IAF supports community-led solutions to expand economic opportunities that provide productive alternatives to irregular migration. Our grantee Asociacin Coordinadora Hondurea de Pequeos Productores (CHPP) will help its members map farmed areas and update their internal control systems to comply with the new regulations. It will train technical staff of each member organization in data collection and management and monitoring indicators to meet new standards, which will help sustain market access and incomes and contribute to slowing deforestation. This grant advances the IAFs strategic initiative to promote sustainable agriculture, strengthen food security efforts, and support viable livelihoods and is part of the IAF's efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration in Central America.
