Tucked into the foothills of the Maya Mountains, two miles up river from the village of San Pedro Columbia in southern Belize, Maya Mountain Research Farm is a registered non-governmental organization an We cultivate hundreds of species at MMRF in our established agro-forestry system, a lush, productive tropical food forest. MMRF functions as a genetic seed bank for indigenous species and a buffer zone to the adjacent Columbia River Forest Reserve. We also manage the Belizean Maya Ethnobotanical Research Project for University of Florida. We welcome farmers, researchers, interns and student groups throughout the year. During dry season (December through May) we also host a variety of courses that support our mission. MMRF is a research and training center committed to promoting applied biological diversity as a means of ensuring food security. |
