ECOVA MALI is an acronym that stands for Economic and Ecological Viability through Agriculture in Mali .  Founded in 2007 by Cynthia Hellmann, Gregory Flatt, and Siré Diallo, ECOVA MALI has gained the interest and support of people around the world who believe in our principles and approach to development.  We are very excited to be a part of the paradigm shift in development from top-down, corporate-directed to community-initiated and controlled.  We believe that food security, environmental stewardship, and economic development are intimately connected and must be addressed holistically at the grassroots level. 

We are excited to announce that Cindy, Greg, and ECOVA MALI are prominently featured in the new book of the NY Times Best-Selling Author, John Perkins, "The Secret History of the American Empire". Click here for a link to some book reviews and links to purchase the book online.
