Subsistence farming and agroecological research go hand-in-hand in this partnership between a cooperative community and a local non-profit environmental organization. Farming practices are principally “biointensive,” which fosters healthy soils, conserves space, and requires low input, while maximizing yields and increasing sustainability and overall health of this small-scale food production system.
