MAGA Guatemala, an organization focused on agricultural development in the country, shared updates on its recent activities through several posts on December 5, 2025.

This message detailed a livestock vaccination campaign carried out with the local community council (COCODE) in Concoma village, Poptún. The initiative aimed to strengthen animal health and protect livestock from diseases that could impact productivity and food security.

Later that day at 18:29 UTC, the organization posted about another community project: "#Chiquimula | Para optimizar la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional de familias de Quezaltepeque, capacitamos a integrantes del CADER en la preparación de espacios para la producción hortícola familiar, para que los agricultores implementen huertos familiares y produzcan https://t.co/LuqPhNt5w4". This tweet described training provided to members of the CADER group in Quezaltepeque.

These initiatives reflect ongoing efforts by MAGA Guatemala to support rural communities through disease prevention campaigns and educational programs designed to enhance food security. Community councils such as COCODE play a key role in coordinating these activities at the local level. Family gardens are recognized as an effective strategy for improving nutrition and self-sufficiency among smallholder farmers.
