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 smallholders. The use of biologicals is an option for chemical and integrated crop management options. Sustainable production can be achieved by using beneficial microorganisms in basic grains and vege...

Global agricultural production faces challenges from climate change, drought, nutrient availability, pests and diseases. Biological products can reduce the use of agrochemicals and help improve productivity by minimizing the environmental risks of toxic waste and water pollution. Entomopathogenic fungi (HEP), phytopathogenic antagonists (PAH) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (HFMA) have been studi...

VIEW MEMORIA DEL TALLERDuring the 22nd annual meeting of the FONTARGO (Regional Fund for Agricultural Technology ) board of directors, held on thr 4th and 5th of October, 2018, in Guayaquil, Ecuador, a need was expressed for a regional platform. Of genome editing in the agricultural sector. As a result of the discussion it was decided to create an initiative to strengthen programs in this sector b...

Pests and diseases cause significant losses in the world food supply, while hundreds of millions of family farmers depend on agriculture to survive. The cultivation of fruit trees is economically very important for the development of the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), not only for its nutritional quality, but also because it is a generator of jobs. There are numerous quarantin...

Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) Race 4 Tropical is a threat to the production of bananas and bananas in Latin America and the Caribbean, for this reason it is important to articulate actions between countries that allow the containment, prevention and control of the spread of the pathogen in the continent. This report presents the summary and conclusions of the work...

Several global initiatives indicate that carbon sequestration (C) in soil organic matter dedicated to agriculture is a viable option to mitigate the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) and to increase the resilience of these systems to climate change. In particular, the '4 per mille Soils for Food Security and Climate' initiative launched at COP21 is aimed at increasing the global stock of C in the...

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L) is one of the main “commodities” marketed in the world as a raw material for the production of food, beverages and other industrial products. In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), this crop has a historical history linked to millions of family producers in the Andean Region, Central America, the Caribbean and South (Brazil). This crop is key to food security, sinc...

The use of technological innovations associated with agriculture in protected environment conditions allows farmers to reconvert and differentiate their open-field production systems into more productive and sustainable systems from the socio-economic and environmental points of view.The objective is to strengthen the capacity of researchers, producers, and technical assistants to monitor environm...

Family farming (FA) systems located in marginal areas are frequently more vulnerable to the negative effects of the climate and its changes. The sustainable intensification (IS) of these systems should be associated with their socio-ecological diversification, and tend to increase and / or stabilize the productivity of their resources, their profitability, maintain the ecological and cultural inte...
