PNS, Plataforma Nacional de Suelos
The PNS is a network that facilitates and promotes the exchange of experience, learning and social and political commitment in the field of sustainable agriculture. It is supported by a group of institutions that are committed to agroecological development in Bolivia and implement measures to improve the living conditions of the population. In its projects, the PNS aims to strengthen indigenous farmers. It consists of 52 member institutions spread across Bolivia and works with more than 16,100 farmers. Together, they strive to restore healthy soils and learn agroecological farming methods that enable them to eat healthier food and develop new strategies to adapt their traditional agriculture to changing climatic conditions. Smallholder communities and the members of the network are in a constant exchange of knowledge via the PNS. The PNS also enables our long-standing Bolivian partner organizations to lobby at regional and national level for government support for a national food sovereignty policy and to campaign for greater financial and political commitment.
