Summary
Taking advantage of recent changes in national law and policy and growth in digital marketing opportunities during the COVID pandemic, we empower cooperatives to raise annual revenues of 5000 rural households through regenerative agropastoral activities over a 30,000 km2 area of central Morocco. We support 200 rural cooperatives – mostly women-led – to pioneer a movement to improve livelihoods by innovative production and marketing of local cosmetic, craft and culinary goods while they conserve High Atlas biodiversity and
cultural landscapes.
