Delegation in Canada

An IICA-organized forum discussed best practices in these three countries to provide funding for the agriculture and rural sector - a sector that will be a mainstay for post-pandemic recovery.

The organizations signed a cooperation agreement to pursue actions in the areas of productivity, competitiveness, agricultural health and food safety, animal health, environmental sustainability and technological innovation, to benefit the agriculture and livestock sector of the Americas.

The Peruvian-Canadian researcher, who specializes in rural planning, has a solid background in international rural and agricultural research for development.

Integrated logistics, harmonized rules and the free flow of trade are issues that are gaining increased relevance, claimed recognized experts in the agrifood sector—Gustavo Idígoras and Marcos Jank—in a discussion with Manuel Otero, Director General of IICA.

Donations of any amount will be received on the GoFundMe platform and will go to 4 rural communities in these countries to purchase seeds and basic agricultural inputs.
