A Solution That Works:
The Plant With Purpose Watershed Model

A watershed is a region defined by rivers and streams that all flow into a common, larger body of water. As environmental improvements happen and agricultural techniques are learned, there is a literal “trickle down” effect throughout the region and from neighbor to neighbor. By reaching only about half the families within a watershed, the entire region experiences a reduction in poverty and a restoration in their environment. Ecosystems are restored and deforestation is reversed—the benefits to a community are long term.

Purpose Groups

Community-based and locally-led, Purpose Groups are the foundation of the watershed model, bringing neighbors together to learn, collaborate, and encourage one another. Purpose Groups have four components:
Soil health and crop yields are increased through the training and application of regenerative agriculture techniques. These schools are collaborative with both the trainer and farmer sharing knowledge and practice
