On the farms you will find a lot of degraded areas, caused by overgrazing and inappropriate cultivation. Objective of the projects is the protection against soil erosion and nutrient loss. The agroforestry is a combination of agriculture and forestry and it can be seen as the most sustainable land form used in the conservation. Today there is a need of organic farms or family plots. Generally, the plots are small, next to the house and contain vegetables, fruits, herbs, medicinal plants and ornamental among other but the agroforestry is used in the reserves, national parks, etc. The main idea of this sustainable development is making organic farming a popular agricultural practice in Ecuador. Working on a community's Organic farm affords volunteers the opportunity to live and work on an organic farm located in one of Ecuador's beautiful villages in the Machalila National Park. Volunteers support an ongoing organic farming program aimed at developing socially and ecologically sound organic farming practices, while learning more about organic farming, reforestation, and environmental issues in Ecuador. Volunteering in Ecuador's community organic farm gives volunteer ample opportunities to immerse in the local culture and people. Works in the organic farm are physically demanding.
