Cultivating Peace
Two strategic exotic fruits grown by smallholders in Colombia are:
Mora, the deep red Andean Blackberry, grows at cool, high altitudes. Mora is the Berraquera fruit of 2019.
Lulo, which tastes like kiwi or gooseberry and grows at 1,200 – 1,500m. See Lulo video.
Mora Associations
Berraquera is working with two Mora Growers’ Associations:
Asotolda, Roncesvalles, Tolima, where our 2019 Mora is sourced from – a place of reconciliation.
Asmobel, Belén de Umbría Territory of Learning, Risaralda. Their good practices are a model for post-conflict areas.
Climate Challenge
Project Refresh finances two tools to combat climate change:
Dew Collectors reduce water demand by up to 50%; retain soil moisture and eliminate weeds.
Drip Irrigation optimises water use to bring crops through dry seasons, with a huge reduction in the costs of watering.
