ORGANICS IN MEXICO - AIRES DE CAMPO

Aires de Campo was founded in 2001 by a group of Mexican organic producers seeking to create a direct distribution channel between their farms and orchards and the pantries of organic conscious consumers.

Aires de Campo is the first organic food products company in Mexico, with over 50 producers across the country and a network of suppliers composed of family farms, indigenous and peasant cooperatives, and small to medium agribusinesses operating by the principles of equal economic development, social fairness, and environmental sustainability.

Consumption of our products directly supports the growth and development of the producers, giving jobs to more than 1500 growers and producers from rural Mexico. Discover some of the most traditional, yet innovative, organic products ever made in Mexico, brought to you directly by growers, farmers, and food crafters—the very people who produce them.

Reasons, benefits and advantages of consuming organic products:

They are healthier because they are free from toxic residuals left from the use of pesticides, antibiotics, synthetic additives and conservatives.

They help preserve our biochemical balance because they don’t contain traces of anabolics nor STB hormones.

More nutritious: much of the organic products have a higher concentration of dry mass and more vitamin proportions, proteins, natural sugars and minerals versus conventional products.

Better flavor: due to the methods and processes involved in their production which are natural and do not alter their nutritional qualities.

Promote the sustainable development of Mexican agro and the fair treatment Ander the Support Program to small and medium producers (family ranches) that receive a market and just compensation for their corps.

No harm nor consequences for the ecosystems: due to the NO USE of transgenic varieties nor seed irradiation procedures.

Treasury targets Sinaloa Cartel financial and air cargo networks north Charleston, S.C. - U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton today joined Mexican Secretary of Finance Ernesto Cordero Arroyo and Tax Administration Service and Customs Director Alfredo Gutierrez Ortiz-Mena to host the first-ever graduation of Mexican customs officials from a 10-week, ICE-led investigator training course at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Academy in North Charleston, S.C.

“Our efforts to crack down on criminal organizations and others who threaten the safety of our citizens and our economy require close cooperation between the United States and Mexico,” said Secretary Napolitano. “Today’s historic graduation of Mexican customs officials from this U.S.-led investigator training course reflects the unprecedented collaboration between our two nations to better combat transnational crime while facilitating legitimate travel and trade.”

Twenty-four men and women from Mexico’s Tax Administration Service and Customs participated in the inaugural session of the Mexican customs investigator training conducted by ICE agents.

The course included coursework in both Mexican and U.S. customs law, as well as training in a wide variety of investigative techniques, officer safety tactics, and ethics—helping to provide the graduates with the tools and knowledge necessary to combat cross-border crime, including money laundering, customs offenses and weapons and drug trafficking, in close coordination with ICE special agents and other U.S. law enforcement officials.

Over the past year, Secretary Napolitano and her Mexican counterparts have engaged in an unprecedented level of cooperation, signing a number of bilateral agreements and declarations to bolster cooperation in the areas of enforcement, information and intelligence sharing, joint operations and trade facilitation along the Southwest border. DHS has doubled the number of law enforcement personnel assigned to DHS’s Border Enforcement Security Task Forces (BEST), multi-agency teams that collaborate to identify, disrupt and dismantle criminal organizations which pose significant threats to border security and coordinate intelligence sharing on both sides of the border. The formation of the first-ever Mexico-based BEST was announced by Secretary Napolitano in August of 2009.

The Mexican customs investigator training course is part of the Merida Initiative, a multiyear Department of State-led program designed to provide assistance to Mexico and Central America in the form of capacity building, training and equipment to better equip law enforcement agencies to complete their missions. The United States has appropriated $1.4 billion in aid for Mexico through the initiative —including resources to provide training and equipment to support law enforcement operations.
