Volunteer in Agriculture and Sustainable Farming

Volunteer in sustainable agriculture and farming, and learn about better techniques to grow food. By volunteering in farming in Guatemala you can join a team of dedicated people that provides training to small farmers on how to maximize their yield while at the same time approaching farming in a more sustainable and eco-friendly way.

The sustainable agriculture project aims to help medium and small farmers get the education they need to maximize their yield with limited resources responsibly and efficiently.
