The province of La Pampa, Argentina, and the department of Cesar, Colombia, share arid environments where soil vulnerability and desertification are the main constraints to agricultural activities and food security. Mining activity carried out in both regions competes for land used for agricultural purposes and prevents the production of food for fresh consumption in the dump areas due to the pote...

The project “Andean fruit productivity and competitiveness” (2017-2021) was a technical cooperation that sought to increase the productivity and competitiveness of the avocado, passion flower and citrus fruit chains in Colombia (Caldas, Risaralda and Cauca Antioqueño), Ecuador ( Imbabura, Pichincha and Manabí) and Peru (Piura). Researchers from these three Andean countries and from Spain par...

This project was carried out in Peru and Colombia, specifically in two cocoa-producing regions of Cuzco and San Martín, in Peru; and Tolima and Huila departments in Colombia. For these regions, a geographic information system (GIS) was developed that included edaphoclimatic information and the collection of materials of differentiated quality. Physicochemical and organoleptic characterization wer...

Climate change will affect large areas of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), mainly due to rising temperatures, variations in rainfall intensity and frequency, effecting productivity and the emergence of new pests and diseases. Family farmers are most vulnerable to these effects. Furthermore, it is estimated that food demand will increase over the next 30 years due to population growth, income...

FONTAGRO's Knowledge and Communication Management (GCyC) is a key element in its 2020-2025 Medium-Term Plan (PMP), positioned as a cross-cutting theme aimed at widely disseminating knowledge to all potential users. This technical cooperation was initiated at the request of FONTAGRO's Governing Council to continue the activities outlined in the 2020-2025 Knowledge and Communication Management Actio...

The project aims to add value to innovative food production and distribution strategies generated by family farmers. The purpose is to understand and visiblize the productive and commercial innovations of family farmers and consumers in order to enhance them and contribute to the discussion and design of appropriate public policies for their scaling in Argentina, Bolivia and Spain. Different acti...

The Gran Chaco 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 resources from the native forest. The objective of The Innovation Network for a Climate-Resilient Gran Chaco is to coordinate th...

Global population is expected to continue increasing, implying an increase in food demand. In order to supply this demand, increases in productivity will be required.Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have ample natural resources for dairy production, enough even to double current production levels. However, would it be feasible to increase productivity, and at the same time to improve family�...

The concept of bioeconomy emerged at the beginning of the 21st century, within the framework of the research policy of the European Commission. Since then, many countries have developed bioeconomy strategies with the aim of promoting their economic development, based on the generation and application of knowledge for the sustainable use of natural resources, particularly biological resources, prom...

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...
