Community members have been involved in the planning, construction, and maintenance of two nurseries that will ensure the continuation of eco-friendly and sustainable farming methods. The diversity of the crops will keep the soil healthier and reduce the risk of plagues and disease.
Lately, the 2 nurseries and their surrounding communities have benefited from water-related activities: - The nursery in Nuevo Tepeyac now boasts a new irrigation system. It taps into a nearby spring, includes a storage tank, and irrigates all of the nursery’s diverse crops. Seven municipalities will benefit from this nursery’s production.
- The Agua de Leon nursery received a rainwater-capturing tank with the ability to irrigate their fruit trees year-round. Community raining included the importance of water-conservation methods. This knowledge will be passed on with the intention that each family will eventually have their own backyard tank.
By donating to DESMI you are ensuring more communities like Nuevo Tepeyac can benefit from increased water security.
