Mitch Hurricane

FFCG in collaboration with the Soil Resources Management and Conservation Service, sent a consultant in early December 1998 to Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala for a three-week mission to:

  • Assess the global environmental effect of the Mitch hurricane on the small farms, more specifically, in the medium and upstream sections of the affected catchments;
  • Assist in the formulation, promotion and initiation of National Action Programmes for conservation and rehabilitation of arable land for sustainable crop production in the three countries.
