ASPROC is an association of farmers with more than 20 years of agricultural organization and production experience. They are specialists in greenhouse production of organic tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and other vegetables using organic inputs that are prepared on site, and have adopted highly efficient practices and technology to evolve from conventional to sustainable growing. More than 90 Kaqchikel Mayan farmers participate in the association’s production process, acquiring skills in construction, harvesting, and marketing. With WCK’s support and counterpart funding from other grants, ASPROC built a 2,300-square-meter greenhouse to produce salad tomatoes, harvesting 816 quintals – approximately 90 tons – of tomatoes every 90 days. With this increase in production they are aiming to double their sales and employment opportunities. Their workforce is benefiting not just from this increased opportunity but also from access to fresh greenhouse produce for their households. Guatemala is a country profoundly affected by climate change; greenhouse crops provide a clear and reliable path to strengthening food security. __ Launched after Hurricane María in 2017, and in operation through 2022, WCK’s Food Producer Network (FPN) helped smallholder farmers, fishers, and small food-related businesses revitalize their operations and begin to regrow their long-term capacity for food production, distribution, and sales. Through its three pillars—grants and loans, capacity building and networking, and volunteering and agritourism—FPN contributed to system-wide improvements in food and nutrition security and sustainability by growing the capacity of local communities to produce their own food. In doing so, we increased their resilience against future disasters. __ Founded in 2010 by Chef José Andrés, World Central Kitchen (WCK) is a nonprofit organization that is first to the frontlines providing fresh meals in response to crises.
