The Network of Women (NOW) For Food Security joined forces with Jamaica National Foundation’s Social Enterprise Boost Initiative (SEBI) and Food For The Poor (FFP) to provide rural women income-producing opportunities and reduce the amount of imported mushrooms.
According to Pauline Smith, director of the Network of Women (NOW), “Food For The Poor will be providing all of the infrastructure, the labs and all the equipment that we need. The way the project works is that we’ll be giving individual women their own grow-out houses.”
