In the late 90s, a group of producers in the La Unión region of Colombia noticed a shift away from the sustainable practices they valued. Seven producers formed Fundación Agraria y Ambiental Para el Desarrollo Sostentible (FUDAM) in 2000 to protect and spread environmentally conscious farming.
When asked why the group continues to farm organically despite mounting pressure to rely on chemical inputs, the association’s leadership explained, “This is just how we live. These are our values and our way of life.” Through their longtime coffee-growing practices, they feel a connection to their ancestors. Maintaining the methods handed down is a tribute to past generations and sustainable for future generations.
FUDAM cares for its members and their communities. It holds agricultural trainings, advocates for women’s and children’s rights through programs, and supports non-violence initiatives.
We are excited to have interviewed FUDAM founding member, Raquel Lasso Muñoz, to learn about the history of the association and the important work they do in La Unión.
