As we celebrate Earth Day today, consider that for many families in the developing world, every day is really earth day.  For the billions who live in rural areas, their survival is entirely dependent upon the land.  Their access to food, shelter, and income is intrinsically linked to the earth.  And when that access to land is not secure, the cycle of generational poverty continues because of the lack of those resources.

At Agros, we believe that the first step toward upholding environmental sustainability begins with land ownership.  To that end, the Agros development model is focused on ensuring access to land, affordable credit, and technical training proven to support sustainable land stewardship.  For families who partner with Agros, this is the key to breaking that poverty cycle in a powerful way.

How can you help Agros families to be responsible environmental stewards, on Earth Day and every day?  Do your part by investing in rural families who employ sustainable agricultural practices today, so that future generations can continue to enjoy the land!

• Plant a dozen trees in an Agros community
