In the face of the challenges posed by the crisis of the three Fs (food, fuel and finance), the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) remains firmly committed to proposing news ways in which stakeholders in the agricultural sector can learn about novel ideas and successful experiences. The agrifood chains and territories of the countries must be able to shield themselves from the effects of the crisis and have access to tools and strategies that allow them to innovate and take advantage of the opportunities to enhance their capabilities, embark upon the road to recovery and attain high levels of development.
