The New Zealand Government as part of its contribution to the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA) is proud to collaborate with FONTAGRO in advancing agricultural innovation and climate resilience across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). This long-standing partnership exemplifies the power of international cooperation in addressing the pressing challenges posed by climate change to the agricultural sector.
These initiatives have provided invaluable insights intobest practices that not only benefit Latin American farmers but also contribute to New Zealand’s leadership in sustainable agriculture.
16 years of collaborative work
16 years of the collaboration between FONTAGRO, the Ministry for Primary Industries of New Zealand (MPI), and the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA) has been instrumental in advancing climate-smart agriculture and sustainable innovation across Latin America and the Caribbean. We must continue strengthening this partnership to build on the momentum of innovation and collaboration generated in the region.
Together, we can shape a future where agriculture is more productive, resilient, and environmentally sustainable for generations to come.
