The Presbyterian Hunger Program\u2019s long-term partner Peasant Movement of Papay (MPP) is receiving international attention for their food sovereignty work in Haiti. MPP is a grassroots organization that for decades has mobilized subsistence farmers to advocate for improved agrarian policies in the country while simultaneously training farmers in sustainable agriculture and agroforestry techniques that have improved food production and nutrition, increased incomes, reforested the landscape, and improved soil health and water catchment systems. And MPP has continued to do this important work in the eye of the storm, both literally and figuratively, whether that be the 2010 earthquake, Hurricane Matthew in 2016, or the assassination of President Jovenel Mo\u00efse in 2021.<\/p>\n

Presbyterian World Mission supported MPP\u2019s home garden work with Mission Co-worker Mark Hare serving as an agricultural technician for years to build the capacities of farmers to turn small plots of land into efficient food gardens – work that continues to be supported by PHP. The Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) and PHP have partnered with MPP to provide locally produced seeds and tools to farmers in emergency times to ensure that rural populations can increase and improve food production in times of crisis. And both PDA and PHP supported MPP\u2019s project to establish EcoVillages that welcomed home Haitians migrating from urban centers back to rural areas after the 2010 earthquake, where they were able to re-establish their lives as farmers. MPP is a founding member organization of FONDAMA, the Joining Hands network in Haiti.<\/p>\n
