Under the motto “Innovation for a Food Secure Future”, participants discussed how IFAD and its partners can better harness innovation so rural communities can find solutions to the challenges they face and thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Through 40 hours of asynchronous training and synchronous webinars with international specialists, participants will analyze the status of liquid biofuels and their relationship to energy security and climate change in the region.

Argentina’s SENASA and IICA are already engaged in a number of cooperation actions, focused, among other things, on institution building, the modernization of processes and systems, training and education, the promotion and use of bioinputs, the elaboration of regulatory frameworks, and territorial development.

More than 150 participants attended the event, including officials, analysts, producers and professionals from different regions, who shared details of the most important biofuel experiences.

The contest sought to recognize tourism activities and products in the Americas that are adopting bioeconomy practices.
