Bioinputs for sustainable production
Within the framework of climate change adaptation and mitigation initiatives, it is increasingly necessary to contribute to the development of environmentally friendly and low-cost alternatives for small producers. In this context, the use of bioinputs therefore becomes a strategy for chemical and integrated crop management options. In this way, sustainable production can be obtained by using be...
Learn morePlatform for the transfer and efficient use of bioinputs on Latin American farms
The implementation and the development of more sustainable agriculture technologies is urgent. In this context, the use of bioinoculants (biofertilizers, biopesticides and biocontrollers), based on beneficial microbes, which can promote plant growth and also plant protection, has significant relevance. The adoption of this biotechnology presents several improvement opportunities regarding efficacy...
Learn moreSatellite tool to strengthen capacities for monitoring, reporting and verification of methane emissions in Latin American ecosystems.
Given the importance of quantifying methane (CH4) emissions from rice paddies in national inventories and the increasing investment in mitigation technologies, there is significant value in developing verification technologies that can be applied at regional or national scales. Nowadays, it is possible to monitor CH4 content using satellite sensors. An example of such a sensor is the Sentinel-5 ...
Learn moreRegional alliances for iron-rich beans in Latin American countries
Agriculture in LAC, in particular Family Farming (AF), forms the basis of the regional population's food supply. It is estimated that it provides 80% of the food consumed daily and the total number of productive units is close to 15 million. In the context of the current pandemic and in the years to come, producers will need new knowledge and timely support to avoid shortages and strengthen the ...
Learn moreMultipurpose silvopastoral systems and family farming in Peru and Colombia
In the Peruvian and Colombian Amazon, most of the rural population is engaged in agriculture, which includes cattle farming as an activity mainly of a family nature. It is notable that livestock farming has generated low sustainability in land use, mainly due to deforestation of forests for pasture establishment. Livestock is responsible for 80% of deforestation in the Amazon region and is respons...
