Sustainable Harvest International (SHI) is an environmental nonprofit with over 27 years of experience in sustainable farming. SHI has partnered with families in rural communities across Central America since 1997. Using organic vegetable gardens, wood-conserving stoves, seed saving and many other sustainable farming methods, SHI's local field trainers work with individuals and communities to preserve tropical forests and improve livelihoods. During our program, farmers learn how to provide nutritious, healthy food for their families, create and maintain an agribusiness, and reforest their surrounding environment. Our five-phase approach to solving the agricultural, ecological and economic problems of Central America is innovative, hands-on and long-term. Through our family farming methods, we promote food security, food sovereignty, regenerative agriculture, ecosystem restoration, and gender equality.
