RURAL AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

 

The Impulse Institute promotes, trains and helps the design and initiation of social development projects focusing mainly on small agricultural production in rural areas of Mexico. Our aim is to raise the income for small producers in order to increase food security for their families. At the moment, the Impulse Institute is developing two projects with a social focus:

 

• Honey: The project focuses on the organic production of honey from endemic flowering plants. The honey is produced in a natural reserve, mainly a rainforest area, in the municipality of Villaflores in Chiapas, Mexico. The project helps to diversify the income of small producers leading to improve the quality of life of the families involved as well as the conservation of the ecosystems  in which the families live.
