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
