The objective of the RIAP is to provide an avenue for conducting joint research activities and sharing of experiences between Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean countries, all towards improving agriculture and allied industries in the Americas. Since the RIAP began, IICA-Canada has been able to support more than 250 individuals in their work throughout the Americas. The Program which has 2 components, supports researchers, academics, farmers, and agriculture leaders and administrators to participate in exchanges that contribute to agricultural health and food safety, technology and innovation, trade and agribusiness development, and sustainable rural development in the Americas.
