Promote Sustainable Agriculture in Chiapas, Mexico

Traditional Stoves

This is a typical stove that you might see in homes in Chiapas. When it is in use the smoke circulates in the house causing health problems from respiratory infections and asthma to cataracts and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Wood Burning Stove

This woman demonstrates her wood-burning stove. Instead of the room being smokey, the flue (just to the left of the woman) takes the smoke outside.

Wood Burning Stove

This wood burning stove has been recently installed and the smoke goes directly outside. It allows people to cook more efficiently and uses a lot less wood than traditional stoves.

Community Store

DESMI opens small grocery stores with the goal of creating an integrated network of producers and consumers as backbone to a strong rural economy.
