Platform implementation for Latin American and Caribbean regions
On 30 August, CATIE (Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza), represented by Muhammad Ibrahim, its Director General, signed a contract with the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), to put in place the implementation of the Platform for Sustainable Livestock Production: more productivity with fewer greenhouse gas emissions, which will work in the Latin American and Caribbean region.
The Platform is coordinated by CATIE, in collaboration with the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases’ Livestock Research Group and the Latin American Regional Fund for Agricultural Technology (FONTAGRO), and will look to establish alliances with key audiences for the sustainable intensification of livestock production systems, as a regional research and development strategy for climate change adaptation and mitigation.
