When we introduced you to Edwin Adonis Nolasco last year, he was hopeful that his farming skills—built over five years of work with SeedChange and our partner organization, the Foundation for Participatory Research with Honduran Farmers (FIPAH)—would help him and his family weather the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since that time, there have been multiple waves of the pandemic and the most active Atlantic hurricane season ever recorded, resulting in one of the wettest October to November periods since 1981 across parts of Central America. So in addition to the pandemic’s upheaval, Edwin and other farmers dealt with an incredibly difficult growing season.

Our director of international programs, Beatriz Oliver, recently caught up with Edwin on the phone from his farm in Colomoncagua, Honduras, to see how he and his family are doing.
