Sustainable development is closely related to the green economy. In this sense, the Environmental Economic Incentives Program of the Panama Canal aims to develop business models for families that inhabit the Canal Watershed. While strengthening the people’s capabilities to fulfill their goals, the program contributes to protect the biodiversity of the waterway.
For more than a decade, coffee crops have been an outstanding example of the economic, sustainable, and environmental progress in the Watershed, achieved under a social and participatory governance approach.
