The AGRO-INNOVA project concludes its five-year cycle, having provided significant support to farmers in the Central American region. Through technological innovations and sustainable practices, agriculture has been strengthened, especially through the implementation of agroforestry systems adapted to the dry corridor.
With the collaboration of 47 organizations and the development of 36 community projects, AGRO-INNOVA has impacted 4,012 producers, promoting innovation in regional agriculture. Around 50,000 trees of various species have been planted, including citrus, coffee and mango, adapted to the particularities of each region.
The project has reached more than 109 communities, enabling farmers to become self-sufficient and diversify their production. This diversification has not only improved local consumption, but has also opened up opportunities for the sale of products in wider markets. A highlight has been the inclusion of key sectors, benefiting 1,339 women and numerous young people, strengthening their role in agriculture.
AGRO-INNOVA has established a robust knowledge management framework, empowering producers through 400 knowledge products including materials, programs and trainings. In addition, 73 types of best-practice technologies have been implemented, facilitating more effective adoption of innovations.
Intervention strategies focus on improving the food security and climate resilience of vulnerable smallholders. These include the development of agroforestry systems models, the creation of technical networks for knowledge sharing, and the establishment of technological innovation showcases. These actions are key to fostering the adoption of disruptive technologies and good agricultural practices.
The main objective of AGRO-INNOVA is to strengthen the capacities and knowledge management of 3,000 small producers and 12 organizations in six countries of the Dry Corridor. It seeks to improve climate change adaptation and mitigation technologies, ensuring sustainable production of staple crops and livestock.
AGRO-INNOVA has intervened in 33 territories and 94 localities, consolidating its impact on seed biodiversity, increasing productivity and improving food security for the most vulnerable families in the Central American Dry Corridor.
