Brief me

The project aims to improve the situation and resilience of small producers of the Central American Dry Corridor, through the validation and extension of innovative agricultural technologies and practices with multistrata agroforestry system for the production of basic staple foods, as maize and beans.

AgroInnova promotes multistrata agroforestry systems and diversification of crops to increase productivity, incomes and the resilience of small producers against climate change. Selected and validated technologies will be tested and implemented with the participation of producers’ associations and cooperatives, including water management, improved drought resistant seeds, new crops associated with agroforestry systems, space management for optimal parcel design, placement of trees among other. To support the improvements of agroforestry systems, the project will develop at least 90 demonstrative parcels in six countries of the region, to use as field schools to reach over 3,000 small producers in the extension of improved and innovative agricultural technologies
