The study maps 1,793 of 1,874 Peruvian districts (95.7%), with moderate-to-high risk zones covering over one-third of the national territory, indicating ENSO events amplify pesticide dispersal. (Honles,J. et al, 2026)

A project spearheaded by Atome Energy in partnership with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) aims to develop a green fertilizer production plant using clean hydrogen. The initiative seeks to produce ammonia and fertilizers with low carbon emissions, utilizing renewable energy as a key input.

A financing project granted by IDB Invest to Profertil S.A. to support the production and marketing of nitrogen fertilizers (urea) in Argentina. The initiative aims to strengthen food security, improve production efficiency, and ensure the supply of key inputs for the agricultural sector through working capital investment and/or refinancing.

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.

Sustainable artisanal fisheries and bio-businesses for food security with market access in the Peru–Colombia Border Integration Zone is a binational technical cooperation initiative in the Putumayo River basin aimed at strengthening sustainable artisanal fishing and food security. It promotes cross-border governance through a binational roundtable, diagnostics and monitoring campaigns focused on water quality and fish species of commercial interest. It supports fisheries value-chain bio-businesses through awareness and technical training, financial education, technical assistance, formulation of business models and non-reimbursable equipment support, plus binational fairs and strategic commercial alliances. It also includes community food security plans, training in good food practices, field schools and collective solutions for access to safe water such as collection, filtration and storage. The initiative is implemented in Peru and Colombia over 24 months, financed by the Colombia–Peru Border Integration Zone Development Fund, with a required start in September 2025.

This initiative is a Specific Investment Loan operation (HO-L1259) in Honduras, to be executed by ICF, aimed at conserving and restoring forest cover and associated ecosystem services in prioritized areas. Its overall objective is to conserve and restore forest cover, with specific objectives to: (i) increase adoption of forest and agroforestry practices (AFS/SPS) that expand forest cover, (ii) diversify livelihoods in community forestry, and (iii) strengthen ICF’s institutional capacity for forest conservation and management. The project targets selected municipalities in Olancho, Yoro, Atlántida, Colón and El Paraíso, prioritized through environmental and social criteria related to restoration, hydrology and climate vulnerability, among others. The components include: (I) implementation of agroforestry and silvopastoral systems through technical assistance and technology packages, (II) community forest management via business plans, integrated technical assistance and knowledge exchanges, and (III) institutional strengthening of ICF (forest registry/monitoring, wildfire risk prevention/management, regulatory updates, and land tenure-related aspects). Total financing is US$25 million (60% regular and 40% concessional ordinary capital), with Category B environmental and social classification and Substantial E&S risk, supported by required E&S management instruments (ESA/ESMP/SEP) and applicable Environmental and Social Performance Standards.
