Integrating sorghum cultivation into agricultural systems in the Central American Dry Corridor

Start Date: 2025
End Date: 2029

Description

The project establishes a regional partnership for the sustainable intensification of the Dry Corridor through the integration of climate-resilient sorghum and forage crop genotypes. Through soil characterization and a digital recommendation platform, the project aims to increase productivity and water availability in vulnerable agricultural systems. The initiative, funded by the Government of New Zealand (GRA), will transfer technical knowledge and precision technology to producers, advisors, and students in the region.
