Puente has two core programs which run side by side in each community: Healthy Families, which focuses on the diffusion of information about amaranth, the education of mothers and improving malnourishment amongst young children and Eco-Amaranth, which works with local subsistence farmers to produce amaranth organically- both to provide a more varied diet for their families and to generate income. Through these two programs, Puente recognizes the interdependence of productive farming and good nutrition in rural, subsistence communities.
