Sustainable Pride: Camedor Palm
Abstract
Nestled in the mountains of Sierra Madre Oriental which faces northeast towards the Gulf of Mexico, is the state of Veracruz in Mexico. Known for its historical port and coffee plantations, Veracruz’s landscape is covered with evergreen rainforests, oak forests and beautiful beaches along the coast. At the heart of Veracruz lives the community of Rancho Nuevo, who are traditional coffee growers and harvesters of Camedor Palm. Isidro Hernandez Becerra, a 65 year old coffee and palm farmer, lives there, and this is his story.
