Escamilla Sanchez
In her hometown of Barbosa, Santander — a small rural town four hours northeast of Bogotá, Colombia — Diana Escamilla Sanchez’s grandfather raised a wide variety of crops, mainly for the family’s use. The farm included coffee, oranges, plantains, bananas and corn as well as some cows. Her experience made Escamilla aware of the difficulties small farmers in Colombia faced in marketing their goods.
