The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the three most consumed foods in the world and a cornerstone of food security, especially in developing countries. In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), its region of origin, it is cultivated by more than a million producers. However, yields in most Latin American countries are low, mainly due to the use of low-quality seed, which often presents sani...

The world faces significant challenges in terms of food security, not only regarding access to food but also its nutritional quality and consequent impact on human health. A concerning phenomenon is the 'Triple Burden' of malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and overweight/obesity, which has a global impact and is particularly prevalent in regions such as Latin America and the Caribbean. In t...

This project aims to maximize the harvest of forage produced on farms, thus contributing to improving the self-sufficiency and the economic and environmental sustainability of pastoral systems. This results in lower costs, greater resilience to climate variability, biodiversity conservation, and climate change mitigation. In both tropical areas like Costa Rica and subtropical and temperate zones l...

The project focuses on the sustainable intensification of agricultural systems in the Dry Corridor of Central America by incorporating sorghum genotypes and other forage cereals adapted to each environment to increase the productivity, sustainability, and resilience of the region's production systems. The proposal promotes a regional alliance to achieve intensive and sustainable agriculture. The p...

The project "Development and use of biologicals for sustainable agriculture in Latin America" aims to promote the sustainability of agricultural systems by making biologicals more available and efficiently utilized, helping to address the current economic and climate challenges in the region's agriculture. With a comprehensive approach, the project focuses on four main components: Quality standa...

Food production has increased worldwide strongly in the last 20 years in response to population growth, with a significant impact on the countries of the Americas. This is owed to their agricultural potential, in terms of land area and climatic conditions suitable for agriculture. However, the maintenance of this productivity, as well as its future potential development, depends on the effects of ...

Since 2015, FONTAGRO has been promoting the mobilization of resources for the development of new scientific knowledge, the advancement of technologies, and innovations to support the transformation of agri-food systems in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Spain. The FONTAGRO Board of Directors considered it necessary to create a technical cooperation for the allocation of funding aimed at facilita...

Given the importance of quantifying methane (CH4) emissions from rice paddies in national inventories and the increasing investment in mitigation technologies, there is significant value in developing verification technologies that can be applied at regional or national scales. It is currently possible to monitor CH4 content using satellite sensors. An example of such a sensor is the Sentinel-5 P...

The rapid growth of the global population, which could reach 10 billion by 2050, has increased the need to produce food efficiently and effectively. Furthermore, it is estimated that during the next 50 years the effects produced by climate change, added to the main challenges of humanity in conditions of uncertainty (unemployment, pandemics, wars, etc.), will play a fundamental role...

Agriculture in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), in particular Family Farming (FF), forms the basis of the regional population's food supply. It is estimated to provide 80% of the food consumed daily and have close to 15 million productive units. In the context of the COVID pandemic and in the years to come, producers will need new knowledge and timely support to avoid shortages and strength...
