Welcome to this essential presentation on our ambitious food security project in Hayti. Today, we're showing you how, with your support, we can sustainably improve the lives of one million people through an innovative and sustainable approach. Discover how a simple pumpkin seed can be the starting point for a true agricultural and nutritional revolution in Hayti.
The Challenge of Food Security in the Empire of Haiti
Challenges for a Prosperous Hayti
Persistent Food Insecurity
Every day, millions of families in Hayti struggle to feed themselves adequately, facing a food crisis that is worsening over time.
A Land Subject to the Whims of the Climate
Increasingly extreme weather conditions are jeopardizing harvests, undermining the country's food stability.
Determined but Struggling Peasants
Despite their hard work, many farmers struggle to secure a stable income, perpetuating a cycle of poverty.
An Urgent Need for Modern Infrastructure
Without access to efficient and suitable irrigation systems, Hayti's agricultural potential remains underexploited, hampering the country's development.
It is time to build a future where every resident of Hay has access to healthy and sufficient food, thanks to sustainable solutions adapted to the realities of the territory.
Our Solution: The Soup Jouw-Moun Project
Intensive Cultivation of Giraumons
We are implementing intensive pumpkin cultivation on 1.2 hectares of land, an innovative initiative aimed at feeding one million people by 2025. By combining agricultural know-how, responsible resource management, and strategic collaborations, we are building a sustainable solution for Hayti's food future.
Why is Pumpkin the Key to Food Security in Hayti?
Because it's resilient, nutritious, and perfectly suited to Haiti's climate. Rich in essential vitamins and minerals, it effectively combats malnutrition while providing farmers with a profitable and sustainable crop. A real solution for a more stable and prosperous food future.

Agricultural Innovation: Drip Irrigation System
Optimal Water Management
With drip irrigation , every drop of water is used efficiently, directly at the plant roots. This technology reduces water waste by 60% compared to traditional irrigation methods, such as flooding or sprinkler irrigation.
In a country like Hayti , where access to water is increasingly threatened by droughts and climate change, this innovation is essential to ensure sustainable agriculture . It not only saves water resources , but also improves crop yields by providing plants with the water they need, at the right time and in the right quantity.
Optimized Performance for Maximum Production
By adopting targeted and efficient irrigation, we anticipate a 40% increase in pumpkin yield , thus maximizing production on our 1.2 hectare plot. This innovative approach ensures optimal use of resources and plays a key role in achieving our ambitious goal: to feed one million people through sustainable and efficient agriculture.
