Introducing EcoAgriCulture
In 2009, The Cropper Foundation (TCF), with financial support from the Inter-American Development Bank, (IDB), engaged in a two-year project entitled 'Implementation of Sustainable Farming Practices in Trinidad's Northern Range Communities', also known as the EcoAgriCulture project. This project seeks to mitigate impacts on the environment and downstream communities in two valleys within Trinidad's Northern Range: Maracas/ St. Joseph and Caura/ Tacarigua Valleys.
The experiences and lessons learnt from the EcoAgriculture project are being used to develop a community-based model for
sustainable hillside farming that can be used within other hillside
communities in Trinidad and Tobago and across the Caribbean.
The project is also seeking to increase public understanding of
the need for more sustainable agricultural practices, and inform
public policy measures that address the proper utilization and
management of hillsides.
