MOSS HARVESTING IN HUÁNUCO
We have launched our project with social enterprise Inka Moss, to support 1,125 farmers in the
Huánuco region of Peru to begin harvesting sphagnum moss.
In this remote and rural area, many women continue to rely on traditional potato farming as their
main source of income, which is insufficient to support themselves and their family. There is a
tendency to burn away moss-covered land to make way for potato farming, causing significant
damage to the natural environment.
This project will see us work with five communities to help protect 5,800 hectares of land.
Farmers will receive training in sustainable harvesting and conservation techniques and they will
also be provided with tools and equipment.
We look forward to sharing their progress with you next time.
SHINING A LIGHT ON CLIMATE RESILIENCE
In celebration of Fairtrade Fortnight, we brought supporters and farmers together across a series
of online events focusing on farmers’ innovative climate-resilience techniques.
