Leading experts participated in an academic conference and shared experiences and best practices, in the presence of agricultural producers and researchers from the public and private sectors.

A total of 60 young men and women between the ages of 16 and 30 will participate in the first phase. By December 2022, the school is expected to have trained 110 participants from rural areas of the country.

Laura Suazo, the first women to be in charge of Honduras’ agriculture and livestock portfolio, expressed this view during an interview with the program, AgroAmerica, which airs on Brazil’s TV Agro Mais.

The organizations spearheaded a post-graduate course on “The Bioeconomy in Agroindustry and Rural Territories: Best Practices and Lessons Learned”, enabling more than 35 participants to increase their awareness of science-based economic development opportunities, new technologies and business and financial organization.

The strategic alliance between these organizations considers the role that women play in agriculture in order to move them beyond subsistence farming and toward more value-added, market-oriented production.
