COMMUNITY FARMING
Growing food.
Strengthening livelihoods.
Supporting families.
We work alongside Haitian farmers to connect practical resources and local knowledge with opportunities for greater food security.
Building on the skills already in the community.
​Haitian farmers bring knowledge, experience, and commitment to their land and communities. Overture works alongside them to understand priorities, build on existing skills, and support practical steps toward stronger household food security and livelihoods.
Resources that help
farmers grow.
​Access to seeds, tools, growing spaces, and agricultural learning can help farmers put their skills into practice. Support responds to local priorities, project arrangements, and available resources. We work with participants to identify what will be useful within their circumstances.
Food for the household and opportunity beyond.
​Harvests can nourish households, while surplus produce may be sold or exchanged in local markets. These opportunities can help families meet daily needs and build their livelihoods. Production and household priorities guide how families use what they grow.
Learning and working together.
​Community farming creates opportunities to share local knowledge alongside practical training. Farmers can learn from one another, discuss challenges, and explore methods suited to their growing conditions. Their experience helps guide the work.
Connecting farming and family stability.
​Growing food and developing income opportunities can ease pressures on families. We connect farming with the wider support that helps children learn, stay healthy, and grow up safely at home. Agriculture is one part of a broader effort to strengthen the resources families rely on.
Local food systems work through connection.
​Diri Lavi! purchases rice and beans from Haitian farmers, connecting agricultural production with meal preparation and nourishment.
