Agriculture

Farmers are the backbone of our society. Supporting farmers in creating healthy, nutritious food helps everyone. AID Boston supports various projects in the area of agriculture, which range from supporting organic agriculture training to creating farmers' cooperatives to preventing agricultural related distress. 

This is how AID addresses the agrarian crisis:

• By providing relief to farmers in crisis: AID helps families of farmers who have committed suicide and farmers facing natural disasters.
• By arresting soil depletion:  Farmers get training to move away from chemical farming towards  ecologically sustainable and economically viable techniques.
• Through farmer friendly policies:  Advocacy to make governments work for farmer-friendly policies.
• By creating public awareness:  Through public programs and consumer-producer linkages, citizens connect issues of farmers, food systems and environment.
