RED (Net) Projects

Participating Organization(s): RED (Net)
Location:

RED is a group comprised of organic farmers who worked with the VT-HP Sabanna Grande community development project of the mid-1980s. RED meets regularly to share technical skills and insights. They are seeking to increase their skills and expand their markets. This network could accomodate volunteer technicians at any time. One possibility is for the volunteer to make a short presentation at one of the network's meetings then to live with the members of the network. The volunteer would gain insight into field and community level situations. This group includes Jose Alias Sanchez, a longtime friend of the VT-Honduras Partnership and many Vermonters. The network also includes several agronomists interested in expanding the Velba bean cover crop production. They contacted Vermont's Lyn Carew during the spring of 1996 because he is interested in addressing the la dopa fungus problem that plagues the bean crop.
