Don Pablo
Don Pablo farms in the village of Monte Alegre. He had a track record as an innovative farmer, but had little experience nor technical assistance in agroforestry.CIT/CHF promoter Rolando Guillén helped Don Pablo to establish part of his land (1/2 manzana) in production using an agroforestry system. It allows him to have forest cover and produce pine, gourds and chili all at the same time on the same plot of land. He has stated in uncertain terms that he will not return to slash burn agriculture because of the practical results he has seen on his own land.
