In Bolivia, poverty and food crises contribute significantly to malnutrition. Our project focuses on amaranth, a nutrient-rich crop adaptable to local conditions. We will implement workshops, provide seeds, and leverage expertise from renowned chefs Jamie Oliver and Oscar Mora to promote cooking with amaranth. Our team of dedicated professionals will facilitate these efforts from our Cochabamba office. With funding from organizations like USAID and UNICEF, we aim to create a sustainable impact, ensuring that accessible food contributes to a healthier Bolivia.
