This project aims to maximize the harvest of grass produced on farms, thus contributing to improving the self-sufficiency and the economic and environmental sustainability of pastoral systems. This results in lower costs, greater resilience to climate variability, biodiversity conservation, and climate change mitigation. In both tropical areas like Costa Rica and subtropical and temperate zones li...

The worldwide demand for food is expected to grow above 70% by 2050, with a particular need for animal protein supply, which must be satisfied by increasing agricultural production. Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is considered a privileged region as it has significant natural land resources, a relatively low population density, and a high potential for increasing agricultural production. Ho...

The potato-pasture production systems in the Andean region (AR) of Ecuador and Peru are essential for the sustainability of households in both countries, providing economic, social, and nutritional benefits. In the AR of both countries, the production of potatoes and pastures for bovine feed has been expanding, generating economic and social benefits but also causing environmental problems when th...

The project focuses on the sustainable intensification of agricultural systems in the Dry Corridor of Central America by incorporating sorghum genotypes and other forage cereals adapted to each environment to increase the productivity, sustainability, and resilience of the region's production systems. The proposal promotes a regional alliance to achieve intensive and sustainable agriculture. The p...

The project focuses on addressing the Potato Purple Top Compex (PPTC/CPMP Spanish acronym) problem in the Andean Region (AR), where the potato plays a fundamental role in the diet of millions of people as well as in the contribution to the agricultural sector economy.

This project contemplates the concept of biorefinery, taking full advantage of the mango fruit, giving commercial use to fruits with defects that remain in the field, peel, and seed generated during pulping. From a scientific-technical point of view, multiple potentialities have been identified from the waste generated. The peels represent 7% to 24% of the total weight of the fruit, while the bone...

 The promotion of healthier lifestyles increases the consumption of fresh products such as tropical and Mediterranean fruits. Its consumption can expose the consumer to a higher risk of diseases since the fruits do not go through processing stages to ensure the effective elimination or inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, postharvest treatments are essential for the conservation ...

In Argentina and Uruguay, agriculture is an important economic pillar due to its exceptional production levels, which meet the population's needs and generate significant income. However, the expansion of agriculture, driven by technological advances, climate change phenomena, and market conditions, has harmed the environment. In both countries, agricultural practices are associated with excessive...

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) advocates for animal-origin products with low carbon emissions, supporting nutrition and rural livelihoods. The project aims to enhance the productivity of tropical dairy systems in an eco-efficient manner, thereby contributing to food security in Cauca, Colombia, and Manabí, Ecuador. The tropical agro-environment fosters diverse productive alternatives...
