This initiative proposes to diminish the economic losses associated to the inaccurate management of water resources in the agriculture of LAC countries. The effects of climate change and the lack of modern technologies for irrigation threaten the agricultural sector which in the last decade contributed around 5% of GDP, concentrates to 16% of the employed population and represents about 23% of regional exports. In addition, agricultural activities in the region are fundamental for food security, contribute to economic dynamism, and constitute a fundamental source of subsistence for the population in rural areas, which in Latin America represents 22% of the total population.
