This week on the Heifer Blog we’ve taken a closer look at how chronic hunger is a common challenge in coffee-growing communities all over the world. Heifer helps ease food insecurity by helping to diversify coffee farmers’ income as well as by providing food sources through our model for sustainable community development.
- Heifer supplies farmers the inputs and training needed to make it through the lean months, including rabbits, fish, honeybees and mushrooms as well as training on how to create local markets. Check out our posts from this week:
