I grew up on a farm where we had pigs, grains, and some vegetables. When I had my own children and no longer lived on the farm, it became important to me to teach them about local harvesting. That's why we have joined the local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) for the last 8 years. Eating locally produced and in-season food is good for both people, health and the environment. And, contributes to preserving arable land. Therefore, Recouture will support the 'Seeds of Hope' program by giving $20 per sold item. Our donation provides low-income families in Nepal with a bag of kitchen garden seeds, training by an agriculture expert, and a greenhouse tunnel. This eventually makes them self-sufficient in food, and when the harvests are substantial enough, they can begin selling to others. This is a commitment to invest in local grassroots-level to build more climate-resilient food systems. The program specifically helps empower women to find independence and enables them to provide education for their children. We are glad to support @thesmallworld founded by Sonam & Karma Sherpa.
