Cabarete Sostenible provides food relief to the neediest families and develops food sovereignty through civic regenerative agro-forestry and the creation of social enterprises. Cabarete Sostenible is a platform for community-led sustainability and redistributes access to economic opportunities by bringing the power of the food systems back to local hands.
The Cabarete Sostenible Food Aid Program helps supplement the diets of hundreds of residents suffering from food insecurity by providing monthly food packages straight to their door. So far we have distributed 3,700 nutritious food packages.
Cabarete Sostenible combats food insecurity through the development of community-led spaces dedicated to civic agriculture. We opened the first and only community garden in Cabarete: El Jardin Comunitario, followed by a community farm, La Finca in the Monumento Natural Laguna Cabarete y Goleta in the neighborhood of Callejon de la Loma.
Cabarete Sostenible believes that sustainable farming projects offer a solution to food insecurity in the region by creating a network of diverse food options. Both the Community Garden and Community Farm are public spaces serving as hands-on educational and informational centers for the community as well as production grounds to offer alternative economic options to the community.
