FORENA : spearheading the organic farming movement in Mauritius

The GEF Small Grant Programme and the Fondation Ressources et Nature are providing funding and expertise to Mauritian farmers who wish to start growing organic produce. Within three years, organic certification has been awarded to one of the program member associations. In Mauritius, there are no regulations governing organic agriculture. The program's goal is to prove that it is possible to be certified organic to EU standards - a challenge that requires discipline, expertise and above all, funds.
