The climate crisis tests the way in which we develop agriculture. Consequently, it is necessary to increase food production to face the challenges of feeding a growing world population. Latin America and the Caribbean have great potential to become a global pantry. However, the lack of social progress, precarious education, high migration rate, low environmental awareness and gender gaps, hinder their agricultural development.
This is why the Academy of Agricultural Biotechnology was born, an initiative that provides young students from rural sectors, mainly women, the skills to formulate projects using biotechnological tools, to solve local agricultural problems with innovative and sustainable ideas. We promote knowledge, development and innovation within the community, encouraging long-term local agricultural entrepreneurship led by women; we are determined to overcome the challenge of providing quality education, preventing migration, generating environmental awareness and reducing gender gaps.
