Day 6–8 Community Animators
Day 6 – 8
JDS, Jujutla
In the community of Hoja de Sal, I met 4 community animators. The animators are community members who receive specialised training from JDS. The animators then replicate these trainings within their community, and provide assistance to farmers who are implementing sustainable farming techniques. In this picture, Gabriel Sanchez (far right) shows us around his hillside fields, were he employs techniques such as crop diversification, permanent soil cover, and a combination of hedgerows and ditches built along natural contours to reduce the risk of soil erosion and improve his soil fertility.
