Cultiva - alternativas de regeneración

Cultiva Alternativas de Regeneración aim to preserve the Mayan agricultural heritage of food production in home gardens for sustenance, creating opportunities for women, self-employment, and socio-environmental regeneration. We have been implementing regenerative agroforestry systems to grow food, which we also sell and process in a community kitchen.

Cultiva Alternativas de Regeneración is an organization dedicated to promoting sustainable agriculture and seed conservation in Mexico. Its mission extends beyond farming practices, as it actively supports community-led social and environmental projects. By empowering local communities, the organization fosters resilience and self-sufficiency while addressing critical issues like food security and biodiversity loss.

Key initiatives include:

- Organizing events such as seed fairs and hands-on workshops.
- Providing training for small-scale women farmers to enhance their skills and productivity.
- Advocating for food sovereignty by prioritizing local, sustainable food systems.
- Reviving solidarity-based economies through practices like bartering and community work.
- Grounded in agroecology and agroforestry, Cultiva Alternativas de Regeneración integrates scientific knowledge with natural resources to create sustainable, regenerative ecosystems. These approaches emphasize restoring ecological balance, enhancing soil health, and fostering biodiversity, ensuring long-term benefits for both communities and the environment.

Cultiva Alternativas de Regeneración envisions a future where the rich agricultural heritage of the Mayan tradition thrives alongside modern sustainable practices. By preserving home gardens as vital spaces for food production and sustenance, they aim to create pathways for women’s empowerment, self-employment, and socio-environmental regeneration. Their dream is to build resilient communities that are deeply connected to the land, fostering food sovereignty and economic solidarity through traditional methods like bartering and communal work.

The organization’s goals revolve around implementing regenerative agroforestry systems that not only produce food but also restore ecological balance and biodiversity. By promoting sustainable agriculture, conserving seeds, and supporting local initiatives, they strive to address critical challenges such as food security and environmental degradation. Through education, training, and community-driven projects, Cultiva Alternativas de Regeneración seeks to create a sustainable future where nature and communities coexist in harmony.
