Bananas are an export item of great importance for Latin America and the Caribbean, and therefore, a fundamental pillar of the economy; while the cultivation of plantain is the basis of the daily diet of the population and the generation and diversification of income...
Learn moreWater management in agriculture platform 2030 - 2050
Producing more food for a growing population, the increase in competition for the use of water resources among economic sectors, as well as the effects of climate change on agriculture, represent a future with greater restrictions on the availability of water in the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) countries. Faced with this complex panorama, the notable advances in knowledge for irrigation ...
Learn moreInnovation for pasture management
Harvested Forage in the production systems of Latin America and the Caribbean is very low in relation to their potential. In tropical areas, such as Costa Rica, the production of dry matter (DM) of the main forage species ranges between 10 and 25 t DM / ha / year, but on average the animals consume less than 45 % of the available pasture. In temperate zones, such as Uruguay, forage production on a...

Learn moreStrengthening Regional Networks on Climate Technologies for the Agricultural Sector 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. The most affected would be family farmers, who are the majority. On the other hand, it is estimated that in the next 30 years, the demand for food w...
Learn moreInnovation Network for Rural Development of the Great American Chaco in the Context of Climate Change
The Gran Chaco Americano covers an area of approximately 1,014,000 km2, and represents the second largest forested region in Latin America after the Amazon rainforest. The impact caused by the increase in extreme weather events affects families, whose subsistence largely depends on the resources from the native forest. The objective of The Innovation Network for a Climate-Resilient Gran Chaco is t...
