Plenitud has been a leader in offering environmental educational services to farmers, students, and others since 2010.

AmeriCorps State members focus on disaster service, environmental stewardship, and healthy futures. Through the Plenitud PR agroecology program we train new young farmers and community members in sustainable agriculture techniques to improve food security and reduce environmental damage. The program also serves as a demonstration and educational model for young professionals and farmers across the western region of Puerto Rico. Our disaster services demonstrate and educate sustainable practices such as agroecological food production, rainwater harvesting, and bioconstruction at the educational farm and the Las Marias Community Center & Resiliency Hub.
