Our Mission is Cultivating Connections that Benefit the Environment, Farmers and Consumers through Agroecology

Small-scale farms can feed the world while restoring the environment, if offered the right assistance.
Leveraging 28 years of experience providing agroecology training to small-scale farmers in Central America, the Mandela team is ready to launch a new venture. Mandela will provide agroecology training funded by income streams that generate profits for the farmers and the business. But first we need about 40 angel lenders to help with start-up funds.
Note: Until we get professional help the website doesn’t look nearly as good on a phone as it does on a laptop or tablet. We apologies and hope to fix the problem soon.
Mandela provides farmers a comprehensive package of:
agroecology training
through farmer field schools and individualized on-farm technical assistance
Online Farmers Market
where famers can sell direct to consumers with support from Mandela's farm advisors
Tools, seed & equipment
that farmers can finance over time through a portion of online farmers market sales
Agrotourism
to host educational and volunteer activities on agroecology farms with support from Mandela
Our Surveys
Surveys of 265 consumers and 60 smallholder farmers returned very positive results.
