This is an inquiry for a friend who is attempting sustainable agriculture 
in
Guatemala - in the mountains, poor soil, a 4 mo. dry season, springlike
climate. She was in the Peace Corps and has chosen to remain. She is
growing vegetables, mulching, has goats, goat milk and makes goat
cheese, has chickens. She uses her gardening as a basis for training the
local folks (extremely poor) how to make better use of their land, and 
speaks
to Guatemalan government groups as well as Peace Corps groups, and of
course, the local people. She needs new ideas on how to improve her
operation, new ideas on what she can do. This is a very low budget
operation, deliberately so, so that the local people will be able to 
emulate.
Will appreciate any material I can get to forward to her.  By the way, 
she
has no electricity and very limited water.
