| Social economy: Farmer families can sell their harvests at higher profits by organizing micro-enterprises and regional networks, with greater access to markets and value-added technologies. The program aims to derive both social and economic benefits for participants. The Program Director and staff train micro-enterprises to improve their capacity to develop and commercialize amaranth-based food products. Also, we support local and regional point-of-sale operations, enabling enterprises to increase their client base and direct sales. | $15,000 | $23,142 |
| The Eco-amaranth program promotes the production of amaranth in rural communities through agricultural training, technical assistance, and farmer-to-farmer exchanges. Since 2007, Puente has worked with hundreds of Oaxacan farmers from rural communities to cultivate amaranth using sustainable and agroecological practices. The Eco-Amaranth program allows small-scale farmers to create a healthy food source and generate additional revenue for their families. The program collaborates with the Healthy Families team to contribute to food sovereignty and to improve family nutrition by promoting amaranth, a native crop rich in nutrients and with economic potential. | $15,000 | $16,417 |
| Healthy Families: Puente's Healthy Families program works with rural communities in Oaxaca to foster a more diverse and nutritious diet for their families and help combat child malnutrition by consuming amaranth. Since 2003, Puente has worked with over 12,000 women from more than 80 communities in Oaxaca to prevent health problems and malnutrition through this program. The program works with women from vulnerable populations to address some of the root causes of malnutrition in their communities and make informed decisions regarding consuming amaranth. | $15,000 | $15,419 |
