ICTA Experimental Farm
The CIT project manages the ICTA (Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnologia Agrícola) experimental farm. New agroforestry demonstration plots and tree nurseries have been prepared at the farm with crops that have the potential to be economically viable in the Ixcán. Although research on pejibaye (palm heart), vanilla and other crops for production is taking place, the emphasis is on organic agroforestry production techniques which are sustainable in the Ixcán.
