Intensification and Diversification of Horticultural Production Systems under Protected Conditions for Small Producers

The growing demand for fresh and processed horticultural products with safety and excellent quality creates an opportunity for family farmers to diversify their production, implement new agronomic management strategies, increase productivity, access high-value markets, and thereby improve their income and quality of life.An alternative to achieve these objectives is the use of technologies associa...

Sustainable Intensification in Dairy

Agricultural activity consumes most available fresh water out of all human activities. In particular, dairy production uses large volumes of water, directly and indirectly. Therefore, it is important to estimate water use as an indicator of the long-term sustainability of dairy production. Medium-term projections show that global demand for dairy products will be greater than the growth in supply ...

Climate Technology Transfer Mechanisms and Networks in Latin America and the Caribbean

Climate change will affect large areas of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), mainly due to rising temperatures, variations in rainfall intensity and frequency, which will have an effect on productivity and the appearance of new pests and diseases. Those most affected will be family farmers, who represent the majority of producers. On the other hand, it is estimated that in the next 30 years th...

Livestock and Climate Change: Applied Research and Knowledge

The objective of this project was to create a network on livestock and climate change to exchange information, standardize methodologies, provide mutual technical support and promote collaboration. The project was executed by FONTAGRO/TAS and contemplated the financing of networking and capacity building activities for Latin America and the Caribbean. This project consisted of 3 components. The ...

Mitigate the effect of high temperatures on maize productivity

Maize is one of the main sources of food for a high proportion of the region's population. Climate change will cause increases in temperatures that can negatively affect maize productivity in Latin America. Yield sensitivity to temperature (alone or associated with water or nutrient stress) is generally much higher if stress occurs during the period around flowering (which determines the number of...

Variability and Climate Change in the Expansion of the Agricultural Frontier in the Southern Cone: Technological and Political Strategies to Reduce Vulnerabilities

The Southern Cone of Latin America is one of the main food-producing regions of the world. Agricultural expansion in the last 50 years has been very consistent and significant, having increased the cultivation area of rain-fed grains by 65 million hectares, yields at a rate of 3.1% per year and production by 275 million tons. In general, agriculture expands on soils with less agricultural aptitude...

Generation and validation of drought tolerant maize varieties as a means of stabilizing productivity and reducing mycotoxin damage as a consequence of climate change

Maize is a key crop in the lower tropics of Latin America, providing up to 40% of protein and 50% of calories in the diets of some Central American countries. There are more than 4.0 million hectares planted with maize in Central America, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia, with an average yield of approximately 2.5 t / ha. Climate change will cause increases in temperatures, variation...

Characterization and Development of Wheat Germplasm Adapted to Direct Sowing

The yield of five cultivars per country under zero tillage and conventional tillage was compared. The planting method had a differentiated effect, within the conditions of each locality, causing different production levels. In general, there was a trend towards higher yields under zero tillage compared to conventional tillage, with the former likely to improve soil moisture use efficiency. No effe...

Identification and use of durable genetic rust resistance in bread wheat

Sources of wheat rust resistance were sought in the Southern Cone where there are two epidemiological zones separated by the Andes Mountains. Leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) and striated rust (P. striiformis) are the most important diseases. The population of both pathogens is dynamic with frequent changes in virulence that reduce the duration of resistance of commercial cultivars. Adult plant resi...

Training and research for the integrated management of banana´s black sigatoka in Latin America and the Caribbean

The control of black Sigatoka in banana crops was studied through four lines of work: High-density cultivation and use of fungicides. The higher density increased the height of the plants, lengthened the production cycle and contributed to weed control. Bunch weight was lower without affecting the number and size of fruits. Neither infection nor fungicide use increased with the higher density. Pro...
