Cargill, Heifer International expand Hatching Hope to Mexico, help women farmers go from poverty to prosperity via poultry
Using the Cargill feed distribution network, Hatching Hope will also train farmers on productive, efficient and sustainable farming practices, so they can be part of the solution to improving nutrition and raising the economic productivity of the region.
Cargill, Minneapolis, and Heifer International, Little Rock, Ark., co-creators of the Hatching Hope Global Initiative, are “hatching hope” in Mexico, expanding into three southeastern states. This expansion advances Hatching Hope’s vision to improve the nutrition and livelihoods of 100 million people by 2030 through the production, promotion and consumption of poultry.
“Hatching Hope will create thriving centers of agriculture,” says Victor García, Mexico country director for Heifer International. “With Cargill’s partnership, Hatching Hope Mexico will connect farmers to market buyers and create increased demand for their products through local media and education.”
