Campaign Story
After the wake of hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico's agriculture has been devastated, making imperative the rethinking and renovating of our local food system. To achieve a more sustainable Puerto Rico, we need to start working towards achieving food sovereignty.
In efforts to help farmers in the rural poor of Puerto Rico I am raising money to buy and donate seeds to farmers that otherwise will not receive much help anytime soon. I will be traveling to Puerto Rico in October to distribute the seeds. This is the immediate step to help rebuild Puerto Rico, but if enough money is raised, different materials, as needed, will be donated to different farmers across the archipelago of Puerto Rico.
Help me help Puerto Rico achieve a sustainable and resilient local food system.

May the seeds that you provide, yield much fruit. Asking God that he watch over you and protect you as you travel to Puerto Rico.
