The Ministry of Agriculture (MAGA) has been involved in various programs aimed at improving food security and supporting small-scale farmers throughout Guatemala. These initiatives are part of broader government strategies designed to address persistent issues such as malnutrition and rural poverty by strengthening family farming and providing targeted aid during periods of climatic risk or food scarcity.
