EXPANSION OF THE MILK PROCESSING PLANT FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DAIRY PRODUCTS FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS SANTO TOMÁS, LUYA PROVINCE,

Inadequate farming practices, small landholdings, poor access to markets, and lack of capital hinder the ability of small-scale producers in Peru's Amazonian region to earn enough to lift themselves and their families out of poverty. At the IAF, we support community-led approaches to expanding economic opportunity, including through sustainable agriculture. Our grantee partner, Asociación de Productores Agropecuarios Santo Tomás (APASAT), is an association of small-scale dairy producers that is expanding and improving its dairy processing plant in Luya to increase sales of milk, cheese, yogurt, and dulce de leche and reach larger, formal markets. These strategic investments increase producers' incomes and enhance the sustainability of small-scale producers in the region.

A Partnership to Pilot an Indicator Framework for Sustainable Agriculture in Latin America A PARTNERSHIP TO PILOT AN INDICATOR FRAMEWORK FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE IN LATIN AMERICA Farmers are often absent from discussions about how policies and programs impact sustainable agricultural production. At the IAF, we are investing in a regional effort, in conjunction with the University of British Columbia, that will give voice to farmers and directly support them in collecting, analyzing, and presenting data that they can incorporate into their operations to manage their farms more efficiently. Movimiento de Economía Social y Solidaria del Ecuador (MESSE) is an innovator in connecting producers directly to consumers to improve farmers quality of life and consumers food security. It works with communities to advance sustainable agricultural production, participatory certification systems, fair-trade markets, community tourism, and the inclusion of women and youth. The results of this regional project will inform agricultural support organizations, government extension experts, farmer groups, and policy-makers with context-specific data about how to encourage the transition to sustainable agricultural practices to improve food security, enhance farmer livelihoods, and minimize environmental degradation.
