ABOUT AGROS AND RICK STEVES
Rick Steves has been impressed wth Agros’ model and considers our approach to be an example of “smart development.” We are so grateful to partner with Rick on this film and other projects. He is an incredible philanthropist and brings a unque presepctive to this work.
Our team first met Rick when he spoke at our annual Tierras de Vida gala in 2018. He was drawn to our mission and asked to visit Agros comunities as part of a scouting trip for an upcoming documentary.
As part of a 16-day scouting trip, Rick visited Agros communities in the rura, mountainous Ixil region of Guatemala. Because his trip was so short, Rick flew into the Ixil by helicopter (which was his first helicopter ride!).
Rick met Agros partners and was inspired by our approach to smart development. Last year, Rick gave us a $150,000 grant as part of Rick Steves Europe’s Climate Smart Commitment. Together with Rick, we are helping farmers in rural communities adapt to the realities of climate change and mitigate their impact.
