Strengthening Agriculture in Haiti

Context

Haiti imports over US$1 billion worth of food each year, even though 46% of its population works in agriculture. Local farmers face enormous challenges: limited access to tools, training, and infrastructure makes it nearly impossible to produce enough food for their communities.

Goals

Strengthen agriculture in Plaine-du-Nord community, Haiti by supporting local farmers, sharing agricultural knowledge, and building sustainable systems that grow local resilience and reduce long-term reliance on external aid.

Activities

Supporting the “Impact Makers” team (20 full-time staff and day labor opportunities for local community members) which:

• Operates a model farm that produces a variety of crops for seed and also serves as a hands-on learning site for university students interested in agriculture;
• Manages a tractor service and land-share program that help local farmers (including women and the most vulnerable) gain access to land and prepare it efficiently and affordably;
• Runs a primary school for 60 students, providing foundational education alongside early agricultural exposure, inspiring the next generation to become skilled farmers.

Myriad Canada is working with Creole Inc. Haiti (formerly the “Corporation for the Rejuvenation, Enrichment and Output of the Landscape & Environment” Inc) on this project, a US non-profit dedicated to developing Haiti’s agribusiness sector. Their mission is to help Haitians achieve self-sufficiency in food production and promote sustainable environmental practices within Haiti.
