Since its inception, OTEPIC has made great progress in helping local people integrate proven organic methods into small-scale food production. 

Over 2,500 participants from approximately 25 community groups have been trained in ecological farming practices and have integrated this knowledge in their farms and gardens. 

OTEPIC has also promoted numerous grassroots initiatives such as growing portable gardens, making charcoal briquettes, building solar food driers, advocating for humane animal treatment, educating about nutrition for HIV/AIDS, and organizing trash clean-up days.
