CAF and Oxford presented a report at COP30 proposing the use of science and bio-inspired innovation to turn biodiversity into an engine of development (CAF, 2025).
The study analyzes advances and trends in the use of artisanal biopreparations in Latin American agriculture, made with natural ingredients and native microorganisms as an alternative to conventional agrochemicals. Through a bibliometric analysis, it identifies the leading countries in research (Brazil, Cuba, Colombia, and Mexico), the main types of biopreparations, such as Bokashi, and the crops ...
The article analyzes how Colombia is leveraging its microbial biodiversity to develop biofertilizers, examining scientific advances, market trends, and regulatory challenges facing the country in its efforts to promote more sustainable and competitive agriculture.
The 124 g LWG/kg DM represents the average feed conversion with 360 g/kg CP of RUP, being 10 g LWG/kg DM higher than with 260 g/kg CP of RUP (Corea et al., 2020).
10 strategic projects have been developed by CAF in its portfolio to facilitate technology transfer and investments in agricultural innovation in several Latin American countries, seeking to materialize emerging technologies in the regional field (Velásquez, A., 2025).
90% of global research and development activity is carried out in rich countries, evidencing an international pattern of inequality and disadvantage that limits the innovation capabilities of developing countries (Sabel & Reddy, 2006).
40% of agricultural researchers in Latin America were between 50 and 60 years old in 2012/13.
