Delegation in Headquarters

IICA has been working to build this narrative by bringing together political and academic authorities, as well as experts, technical experts, and farmers, to emphasize the indispensable role of rural producers and reposition this strategic sector for the development of Latin America and the Caribbean.

The voices of the continent's producers, key players in global food security and the planet's environmental sustainability, were present in a debate that brought together the main political leaders of 197 countries.

“Bridging Financial Gaps to Accelerate the Implementation of Climate Smart Agrifood Systems” was the title of a panel discussion exploring strategies to redirect and scale up financial flows.

The Hemispheric Fund for Agricultural Resilience and Sustainability (FoHRSA) aims to mobilize, manage, and execute resources to strengthen the institutional, technical, and administrative capacities necessary to enhance the adaptation of the agricultural sector in the Americas to climate change, whose impact severely affects productive activities.

The first action to be implemented under the agreement is the development of a methodology for calculating fair and transparent benchmark prices for agricultural products marketed via the CNP’s Institutional Supply Program (PAI).
