Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible to change the world, or at least some part of it? Mountain Majesty: The History of CODEP Haiti Where Sustainable Agricultural Development Works takes an in-depth look at a unique organization that has improved the lives of thousands of rural Haitians through sustainable agricultural development. Together, Jack and Evelyn Hanna embarked on their dream retirement. They outfitted a boat to cruise the Caribbean islands and planned to do volunteer work where they could. But a chance encounter with a desperate Barbadian woman challenged their assumptions and ultimately changed the course of countless lives from another island in the region. Rural Haitian kids often go hungry. They wear tattered clothing and have no shoes. Many people suffer from malnutrition and severe poverty. Hurricanes, floods, deforestation and soil erosion, coupled with political instability, high unemployment and a lack of infrastructure conspire to prevent them from being able to grow enough food to feed their families. In Haiti's Cormier Valley, Jack saw the terrain - huge patches of completely barren land no trees, huge gullies, no soil incapable of sustaining life, plant or animal - and recognized that the only way to help the people of the Cormier Valley was to address the whole watershed area through sustainable agriculture. CODEP was brought to life by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), working with local Haitians and NGOs. They embarked on an ambitious reforestation and erosion control project to ultimately improve the economic conditions for rural Haitians in the Cormier Valley. Sustainable agricultural development is challenging work, but locals saw first-hand just what it could do for their community. They dug ditches and bolstered mountainsides. They germinated, grew and planted trees. They overcame interference from goats, insects and embargos. They upgraded infrastructure and slowly secured additional land for planting. CODEP has encouraged responsible ecological stewardship and reaping the benefits of long-term rewards. Their project solutions are more attractive than the common practice of cutting down trees for charcoal and some quick cash. As a result, CODEP is one of the more successful agricultural development projects in Haiti, and possibly in the world. Nowadays, beautiful fruit trees grow in the forest shade and the people of Cormier Valley are healthier than ever before. Mountain Majesty: The History of CODEP Haiti Where Sustainable Agricultural Development Works documents this fascinating change from environmental degradation to habitat redemption, where environmental rehabilitation led to the restoration of human dignity. A deeply personal story, Mountain Majesty profiles leaders and participants like the Haitians Edvy and NwÈl and project architects Jack and Rodney, exploring their lives, motivations and actions. It also addresses the management issues that non-profits and church mission projects often face. How can we really help the people we want to help? How do we secure more funding? How do we ensure stakeholder participation? How can we identify and develop local leaders? How do we adequately set goals and measure progress? How can we keep donors happy? How do we balance competing interests? How do we keep moving forward when the founder leaves? How do we ensure sustainability? These are some of the questions that keep nonprofits awake at night, and some of the lessons offered by this book.

Book excerpt: The 2010 earthquake brought the extreme vulnerability of Haiti into international focus. Seemingly caught in an endless cycle of social unrest and natural disaster, the country has effectively become a ward of the international community. At the heart of Haiti's protracted struggle have been poor governance, insecurity and environmental degradation. Environmental degradation has been targeted by interventions ranging from local grassroots efforts to top-down-implemented national initiatives. Two of the most established approaches to tree planting in Haiti are reforestation and agroforestry. As part of a field practicum for the Masters of Sustainable Development Practice (MDP) program, two examples of these approaches, implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and by the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), were studied. This paper reviews the impact and application of these different programs, and discusses their contributions to a comprehensive solution to Haiti's environmental vulnerability. In closing, the paper highlights key lessons learned from the evaluations and their relevancy for environmental programming: touching on issues of project design, paid and voluntary labor as well as sustainability of activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was in late 2002 that the idea of preparing a collection of multi-authored chapters on different aspects of ag- st forestry as a compendium for the 1 World Congress of Agroforestry, June 2004, was tossed around. With the approval of the idea by the Congress Organizing Committee, serious efforts to make it a reality got under way in early 2003. The rigorously peer-reviewed and edited manuscripts were submitted to the publisher in December 2003. Considering the many differentindividualsinvolved in the task as authors and manuscriptreviewers, we feel quite pleased that the task could be accomplished within this timeframe. We are pleased also about the contents on several counts. First of all, the tropical-temperate mix of topics is a rare feature of a publication of this nature. In spite of the scienti?c commonalities between tropical and temperate practices of agroforestry, the differences between them are so enormous that it is often impossible to mesh them together in one publication. Secondly, several of the chapters are on topics that have not been discussed or described much in agroforestryliterature. A third feature is that some of the authors, though well known in their own disciplinary areas, are somewhat new to agroforestry; the perceptions and outlooks of these scholars who are relatively unin?uenced by the past happenings in agroforestry gives a whole new dimension to agroforestry and broadensthescopeofthesubject. Finally, ratherthanjustreviewingandsummarizingpastwork,mostchapterstake the extra effort in attempting to outline the next steps.
