Mission

 Working together to create a just and sustainable world through transformative farmer training that nourishes communities and the Earth.

Purpose

More than half of the world’s tropical forests are already gone and we are losing the other half at the rate of one acre every second. As a result, more than half the species of plants and animals in the world are disappearing, along with carbon stores, which stabilize the climate.

Family farmers learn how to grow food using environmentally harmful practices,
leading to 30-40% of total deforestation.

By adopting sustainable and regenerative practices, family farmers have the potential to
drawdown 6 billion tons of carbon - if they get enough support.

Vision

People and the environment thriving in a healthy balance.

To date, Sustainable Harvest International has helped:

4,000 low-income farmers

restore 30,000 acres

while planting 5 million trees.

And we’re just getting started.

Regenerative farming

  • restores ecosystems,

  • feeds families, and

  • improves livelihoods.

Since 1997, Sustainable Harvest International has provided customized training to farming families in Central America.

Our proven model empowers low-income farmers with resources:

  • to adopt sustainable farming practices,

  • boost biodiversity,

  • restore land, and

  • build self-sufficient communities through small businesses.

“I must admit that before Sustainable Harvest International, I was a destroyer of the forest. I am very regretful of this. My field trainer has taken my blindfold off and made me conscious of the importance of protecting the forest.” 
— Adan Jose Rivera, SHI-Honduras farmer
