Development and use of bioinputs for sustainable agriculture in Latin America
Regional project that seeks to improve the sustainability of agricultural systems in Latin America and the Caribbean by incorporating technologies based on bioinputs. These include microorganisms, botanical extracts and derivatives that act as biofertilizers and biocontrollers. The initiative proposes to standardize quality protocols, develop biological alternatives with commercial application, integrate them into strategic crop management schemes and promote their use through training, communication and knowledge management. It has a participatory approach, with emphasis on small and medium-sized producers, women and young people, and is being implemented in Costa Rica, Honduras, Panama and Venezuela.
Project to strengthen the capacity of alpaca producers through pasture conservation and animal health in Cojata District (Huancané, Puno, Peru) and the Indigenous community of Ucha Ucha (Bolivia)
The objective is to improve the economic viability of alpaca producers' projects through pasture conservation and enhanced animal health.
Fertilizers for Wellbeing Program Mexico
The program is designed to increase the production of priority crops such as corn, beans and rice by delivering fertilizers to the eligible agricultural population. This program is aimed at agricultural producers who meet the established requirements, including those who have already participated in the program in previous years or who are registered in the producer registry of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. The support consists of fertilizer packages of up to 300 kg per hectare and 600 kg per producer. The amount and type of fertilizer depend on the crop and the area, and are detailed in the calls and publications of the producer registry. Producers dedicated to non-prioritized crops, in protected natural areas or who have breached previous regulations are excluded from the program. The program guarantees a human rights approach and gender perspective, promoting equality and inclusion in the distribution of benefits.

Intended Nationally Determined Contribution from the Republic of Suriname
Suriname's Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) establishes national commitments for climate change mitigation and adaptation under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The document presents the actions that Suriname will implement to maintain its high forest cover and low deforestation rate, promote renewable energy, and increase resilience in coastal and interior areas. It includes both conditional measures (subject to international support) and unconditional measures (undertaken with own resources) covering forestry, energy, and coastal adaptation sectors.
Agricultural Prosperity Strategy for Latin America and the Caribbean 2025-2030
The CAF Agricultural Prosperity Strategy proposes a comprehensive offer of services and actions to transform the agricultural sector in Latin America and the Caribbean towards a more sustainable, resilient, and regenerative model. It seeks to improve food and nutritional security at local, regional, and global levels through financing actions throughout the productive value chain. It focuses on promoting agricultural practices that guarantee environmental sustainability, promote social inclusion, and strengthen resilience to climate change.
Ley No. 10.831 de 2003: Agricultura Orgánica de Brasil
Law No. 10.831 of 2003 establishes the regulatory framework for organic agricultural production in Brazil, defining organic production systems and their fundamental objectives. This law determines the criteria for the certification of organic products and establishes the responsibilities of the different actors in the production chain. It defines control and inspection mechanisms, including penalties for non-compliance, and establishes provisions for the regulation of inputs and the registration of activities. It also establishes the basis for the adaptation of specific sanitary and phytosanitary measures for organic production.

High Yield Seed Plan
This plan of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Aquaculture and Fisheries (currently MAG) aims to improve the productivity of strategic agricultural production chains and reduce unit production costs, ensuring the availability, access and technified use of high-yield seeds, in search of solutions to the limited access and use of certified seed, together with the application of inadequate agricultural practices that affect the production systems of small and medium agricultural products. The plan is expected to benefit around 132,000 small farmers within the strategic chains identified by the institution, including cotton, rice, beans, corn, potatoes, onions, among other vegetables.
