Aerial view of the farmland belonging to the Chávez family in the La Corregidora Community, Tierra Colorada, San Miguel Chicagua, Oaxaca, Mexico. Here, the family cultivates maize, beans, squash, nopales, fava beans, peas, quelites, and wheat as part of their traditional diet. Despite preserving a lot of forest, this area has been greatly affected by climate change due to lack of rainfall, which has endangered the food security of families that rely on agriculture in the region. CRS and CEDICAM work here to promote regenerative and conservation agriculture techniques to improve the quality and moisture of productive soils. "The maize produced in 2021 was 200 kg. By 2022, it was only 50 kg. It was very difficult, almost the entire harvest was lost. My mom had to sell half of her animals to buy maize and wheat for us to eat. It was lost due to lack of water. We planted in May and it didn't start raining until August. Some parts grew and some didn't, some rotted, and so we lost," explains Sandra Chávez, 23 years old.
