Got goat milk? MESA alumnus Marcia Reyes has made it her business that students in Fiscal Cascol High School in the Manabi Provence of Ecuador have a delicious source of calcium in the form of local goat milk. Participants in her project learn that farm-fresh goat milk is nutrient-dense and economically-viable as an alternative to cow’s milk. They get hands-on practice in animal husbandry and milk production techniques.
