It was undeniable that the organic farming sector was not on the government's radar; it was clear that the government needed to hear the collective voice of the sector. The sector was at a disadvantage; for it to thrive, like any other economic sector, it needed economic and technical support.
Operational and structural capacities were needed to direct resources to projects on a consistent and sustained basis.
We realized that only a few organizations in Puerto Rico had the operational focus and management skills necessary to receive a flow of resources.
Experienced individuals, farmers, administrators, financiers, economists and advocacy experts have come together, and today we have the Alliance for Agriculture, a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation designed as a permanent vehicle with the mission to transform the way agriculture is done in Puerto Rico.
