Jaime leads the San Pedro de Los Lagos community in Leticia, a city on the Amazonas River in southern Colombia. More than 40 families in the community combine income-generating and subsistence activities, including cassava flour production and artisanal fish farming, drawing on ancestral knowledge and practices that have long supported sustainable land management in this area. Jaime’s goal is to keep production stable, reduce market access costs, and sell their products on better terms so the community can capture a larger share of the value they generate. One key to progress in this area is productive coordination, through which producers work together to strengthen their productive capacity and improve market access. #IDB #ImprovingLives #IDBImpact+ #Production #Fisheries #Tourism #Agriculture #Amazon #Colombia #Productivity #Development #CassavaFlour #Cassava #Yuca #Aquaculture At the Inter-American Development Bank we work to improve lives in Latin America and the Caribbean. http://www.iadb.org
