Description

The Project aims to improve food security in the area, basically through increasing yields, crop diversification, improving marketing and strengthening of the institutions. The intervention reflects the problems analysis highlighted by Plan Trifinio, a SICA's trinational body, which is the Project's counterpart. The activities, lasting two years and amounting to 950,000 euros, focus on the development of horticulture and on the adoption of innovative environmental low-impact techniques and technologies. The initiative provides new opportunities for the economically weakest groups, represented by small farmer families, focusing on the creation of market associations. The outputs of the initiative are: a) sustainable vegetable production and the introduction of research, technical knowledge and technologies suitable for sustainable family horticulture; b) the organization of Small Farmers' Associations for business; c) the support for local institutions that play a role in the socio-economic promotion of the Trifinio area, enhancing local production and partnerships between the local stakeholders. These results are expected to be achieved through the strengthening of the INNOVATEC-SISTAGRO Research and Training Center and technical assistance targeting the Center's staff and the farmers. read more close

SDGs

12.a - Support developing countries to strengthen their scientific and technological capacity to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production
17.7 - Promote the development, transfer, dissemination and diffusion of environmentally sound technologies to developing countries on favourable terms, including on concessional and preferential terms, as mutually agreed
2.2 - By 2030, end all forms of malnutrition, including achieving, by 2025, the internationally agreed targets on stunting and wasting in children under 5 years of age, and address the nutritional needs of adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women and older persons
2.4 - By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality
2.c - Adopt measures to ensure the proper functioning of food commodity markets and their derivatives and facilitate timely access to market information, including on food reserves, in order to help limit extreme food price volatility
8.2 - Achieve higher levels of economic productivity through diversification, technological upgrading and innovation, including through a focus on high-value added and labour-intensive sectors
8.4 - Improve progressively, through 2030, global resource efficiency in consumption and production and endeavour to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, in accordance with the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production, with developed countries taking the lead
