LONDON, Aug. 14 -- The government of the United Kingdom issued the following news:
A new biofactory was inaugurated in the community of San Francisco Sumpul, Sinuapa, Ocotepeque in Western Honduras. The facility will produce bio-inputs that reduce the use of agrochemicals and promote sustainable agricultural practices. Its goal is to increase the production of vegetables and other crops while lowering costs and improving profit margins for local farming families.
This initiative is part of the Biodiversity Landscape Fund project (BLF), funded by the UK Government's International Development funds. The project is implemented by WCS, CATIE, Plan Trifinio, and other local partners, who work to promote environmentally resilient farming and improve rural livelihoods. The biofactory is one of 12 supported by the BLF in the Trifinio region through construction, equipment, and technical assistance.
The ceremony was attended by Doris Gutierrez, Presidential Delegate of Honduras; Jorge Aguilar, Executive Director of Plan Trifinio Honduras; Marvin Valle, President of the local Caja Rural; Cesar Augustín, Mayor of Sinuapa; and Juan Jose Sosa, BLF Project Coordinator at CATIE.
Their participation reflects the strong collaboration between government institutions, civil society, and international partners in advancing sustainable development in the region.
