Riverside Native Perennials is partnering with a small Mayan village in southern Belize to provide native tropical trees for agroforestry plots. Agroforestry is a type of sustainable agriculture which cultivates and conserves trees. Villagers grow and harvest forest products such as cacao, coconuts, bananas and important lumber species like mahogany, ziricote and cocobolo for much needed income while at the same time growing food.
