The primary goal of this project is to alleviate the pressure on St. Eustatius’s natural environment caused by conventional grazing. It will introduce syntropic agroforestry techniques and establish a holistic, sustainable agricultural community that fosters biodiversity and enhances food security. Farmers will receive education and training from Curaçao-based Cijntje’s Organic Farm. Statiagov will allocate a 2,000 m² plot for a model farm on the island. The main target audience is the St. Eustatius Farmers’ Cooperative. No non-native species will be introduced into the island’s ecosystem, except for those that have been naturalised for hundreds of years.
Duration: 18 months
