As part of the FONTAGRO project “Harnessing Bioproducts to Strengthen Climate Resilience”, two events were held in Argentina during 2024 to foster collaboration among the scientific community, private companies, regulatory agencies, and agricultural producers, with the goal of promoting the development and adoption of bioinputs for more sustainable agriculture.

The first event, known as VinculAr Day, took place on April 19, 2024, bringing together representatives from research institutions, universities, public organizations, entrepreneurs, investors, and agroecological producers. Through dialogue and collaborative working sessions, participants identified the main needs of the regional agricultural sector and explored opportunities to advance biological solutions tailored to farmers’ needs.

Later, on May 16–17, 2024, the Workshop on Bioinputs and Nanotechnologies for Enhancing Plant Productivity was held, bringing together experts from Argentina and Brazil, representatives of regulatory agencies, technology-based companies, startups, and stakeholders from the agricultural sector. The event showcased scientific and technological advances related to beneficial microorganisms and emerging nanotechnology tools aimed at improving the formulation, stability, and application of bioinputs.

Together, both events engaged more than 130 participants and created valuable opportunities for interaction among technology developers, regulators, and end users. Discussions highlighted the growing interest in bioinputs as a strategy to enhance agricultural productivity, reduce dependence on conventional inputs, and strengthen crop resilience in the face of climate-related challenges.

These activities contribute to strengthening collaborative networks among the scientific, productive, and business sectors, fostering innovation and facilitating the development of bioproducts that address farmers’ real needs. Through these efforts, the FONTAGRO project continues to promote sustainable solutions that support a more efficient, competitive, and climate-resilient agriculture across Latin America.
