MDI/UMass Consortium Field Seminars in Subirana, Yoro Honduras

The nonprofit Mesoamerican Development Institute (MDI) conducts field workshops for faculty of the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH) at Fair Trade Cooperative COMISUYL in Subirana, Yoro, Honduras. MDI’s innovations in coffee processing using clean technology and biodiversity-friendly production methods are presented by MDI’s Director of Research and Planning, Raul Raudales, along with our student researchers from the University of Massachusetts (UMass) and (UNAH). The efforts are part of a developing research collaboration.

The research and seminars involve the producer communities of Cooperative COMISUYL and the farmer-owned Biocombustibles de Yoro, S.A. (BYSA), producers of Jatropha oil. Supporters of the research and seminars include the US Fish & Wildlife Service, USDA Forest Service International Programs, National Science Foundation, University of Massachusetts Lowell and Amherst, and Humanist Institute for Cooperation with Developing Nations (HIVOS).

 

Try The Sustainable Coffee Created From The Mesoamerican Development Institute Research

  • It is the first coffee to be processed using 100%  clean, renewable energy (solar and locally produced biofuels).
  • Conserves and/or restores forest habitat on private lands (coffee farms) to maintain healthy watersheds.
  • Supports coffee production and processing in harmony with threatened national parks.
