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...

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 worldwide demand for food is expected to grow over 70% by 2050, with a particular need for animal protein supply, which must be satisfied by increasing agricultural production. Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is considered a privileged region as it has significant natural land resources, a relatively low population density, and a high potential for increasing agricultural production. How...

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...

Globally, the advance of climate change poses one of the greatest challenges for agriculture and society in the coming decades, even more in countries such as Argentina and Uruguay, where wheat production supplies global demand and is critical for both food security and local economies. The increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events, such as droughts and heatwaves, require crop ad...

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...

In Argentina and Uruguay, agriculture is an important economic pillar due to its exceptional production levels, which meet the population's needs and generate significant income. However, the expansion of agriculture, driven by technological advances, climate change phenomena, and market conditions, has harmed the environment. In both countries, agricultural practices are associated with excessive...

This project focuses on promoting sustainability and food security in rural Mapuche indigenous communities in Argentina and Chile. It seeks to improve livestock production through climate-smart practices, leveraging previous experience to propose solutions tailored to these communities. The project is funded by the Government of New Zealand as part of its contribution to the Global Research Allian...

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 ...
