Agricultural producers

Agricultural producers

Agricultural producers are people dedicated to the production of agricultural and livestock goods, such as crops, livestock, poultry, among others, in order to sell these products in the market. These producers can have different production sizes, from small family farms to large agro-industrial companies.

Trinational Project “Raíces”: Participatory Improvement of Genetic Resources and Seed Systems for Regenerative Agriculture
The trinational “Raíces” project aims to strengthen agrobiodiversity and seed systems in family farming across Argentina, Brazil, and Bolivia through the participatory improvement of genetic resources. The initiative integrates technical knowledge with local practices to conserve, reproduce, and adapt native and traditional crop varieties to changing climatic conditions. The project promotes the establishment of community seed banks and the strengthening of local networks, alongside training in agroecological practices. In doing so, it enhances productive resilience, crop diversity, and food security among small-scale farmers, with a particular focus on the inclusion of women, youth, and Indigenous communities.
Chocolate Island — Cocoa, Carbon and Community
The objective of the project is to propel the Trinidad and Tobago cocoa and chocolate industry forward in a post pandemic and ESGcompliant world, by providing an innovative approach to attracting impact investors through a bundled investment package of "Cocoa, Carbon and Community" thus providing not only a financial return on investment but also environmental and social returns as well.
CENADA Digital
To modernize agricultural marketing and improve access to price information, Costa Rica is promoting CENADA Digital, a national online auction platform that directly connects producers and buyers. This initiative, developed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, the Comprehensive Agricultural Marketing Program (PIMA), and IICA, enables real-time transactions, reduces intermediaries, and facilitates more direct access to markets. The platform incorporates tools such as quality standardization, product traceability, and electronic payments, contributing to more organized and formalized commercial operations. It also provides up-to-date information on prices and volumes, helping producers and buyers make better-informed decisions.

Sustainable Island Resource Management Zoning Plan (SIRMZP) of Antigua and Barbuda
National strategic land-use framework for Antigua and Barbuda that updates the National Physical Development Plan with a 20-year horizon. It integrates ecological studies, geographic-sectoral analysis, and low-carbon development scenarios to optimize the productive use of natural resources — including agricultural land, fisheries, and tourism — without exceeding the resilience of coastal, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems.
Policy Development Plan 2017–2021 of Suriname
Constitutionally mandated five-year national development plan setting Suriname's policy priorities and targets for 2017–2021. Organized around four development pillars, the fourth — Utilization and Protection of the Environment — explicitly integrates climate change as a cross-cutting issue, with provisions on sea-level rise, disaster management, emissions reduction, and agriculture-related environmental threats. The plan establishes a two-track agricultural development policy, lays the groundwork for energy transition and forest protection, and provides the overarching framework for the country's NAP and NDC.

National Adaptation Strategy to Address Climate Change in the Agriculture Sector in Belize
Sectoral strategy and action plan defining concrete adaptation measures for Belize's agricultural sector in response to climate change. Addresses projected impacts on the country's main export commodities (sugarcane, citrus, banana, rice, corn, beans, livestock, and aquaculture) through six thematic axes: excess rainfall and flooding, water deficit and drought, rainfall variability, temperature rise, pest and disease shifts, and soil degradation. Cross-cutting measures include crop insurance, farmer group resilience, and agrometeorological early warning systems.

Biovalor / Bioterra demonstration projects
An initiative launched in Uruguay to promote the valorization of agro-industrial waste through the development of demonstration projects. Through Biovalor and its successor (Bioterra), the aim is to transform waste into value-added products, such as biofertilizers, energy, or production inputs, fostering a circular economy and sustainability.
Platform for the Sustainability of Livestock Production in the Amazon Region
This regional technical cooperation seeks to facilitate the transition from conventional livestock practices to sustainable livestock management models in the Amazon biome, integrating biodiversity protection and ecosystem restoration with economic, social, and environmental benefits. To do so, it will foster a regional platform of key stakeholders with nodes and networks that promote collaboration and knowledge exchange on sustainable livestock management in the Amazon. It will also compile and systematize existing evidence, identify information gaps, and document best practices, lessons learned, and indicators to measure progress in sustainability. Based on that knowledge, it will produce communication materials and organize dissemination events to support evidence-based decision-making and enable adoption of sustainable practices by regional actors. Finally, it will implement one demonstration farm as a successful production model to apply and showcase sustainable livestock practices and encourage replication or adaptation across other Amazon territories.
