Hi my name is Daniel, I currently work for CAN, and first got involved as a student at UC Santa Cruz in 2008. I was attracted to CAN because it combined Sustainable Agriculture (Agroecology), Sustainable Economic Development, and Latin America. As a young Latino born and raised in the United States, I always wanted to be involved in work that promotes sustainable development in Latin America, and at the same time helps to fight poverty, starvation and environmental degradation. CAN had it all for me, and 4 year's later I am still here! It is amazing what a staff of 4 people and about 8 student interns working in collaboration with dozens of other professionals, professors and students around the world can do.
