Center for Rural Livelihoods

The Center for Rural Livelihood is an outgrowth from the groundwork laid by forty-two years of Aprovecho’s innovative work in construction using straw bale insulation, earthen materials, and small-diameter timber construction plus an efficient wood-burning cookstove design now used by tens of millions of people around the world.

We host a Residential Incubator Program for a select number of individuals and families who live on-site. Residents at our forty-acre campus have launched dozens of transformative projects in the region and throughout the world.
