Be amazed: Growing hope in the mountains of Nicaragua

In the rural communities of Matagalpa, Jinotega and Nueva Segovia, amidst mist-covered mountains and the aroma of freshly roasted coffee, thousands of Nicaraguan producers are transforming their relationship with the land. Through the Asómbrate program, farmers are learning, deepening and updating their knowledge of CSA practices in order to adapt to changing climate conditions in the area. These skills allow them to grow coffee and cocoa more sustainably.

The program encompasses more than 83 cooperatives that have been strategic allies and a fundamental pillar in the implementation of Asómbrate. Through the cooperatives, 12,500 producers have been trained, and 291 trainers have been developed using the “Trainer of Trainers” (ToT) methodology, which identifies and strengthens local technicians and leaders.
