Esperanza Hernandez, a Guatemalan farmer, is one of thousands of beneficiaries of the Guatemalan Food for Progress project, an effort headed by Texas A&M University through its Norman E. Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture.
Hernandez, a widow with three daughters, owns a small farm that produces coffee, corn and beans. She has improved her crops by using better soil management techniques and agricultural practices learned through the project, she said during a recent visit to Texas A&M.
“The project has helped me improve my own farm,” said Hernandez, who spoke at the Texas A&M AgriLife Conference earlier this month. “And it has helped many others, including people in my cooperative and my community.””*
