The article highlights a successful project titled "Support for the formulation of appropriate mitigation actions in Central American agriculture," funded by the European Union and executed by the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture, in collaboration with local ministries, GIZ, and Expertise France. The project has significantly benefited agricultural sectors in Panama and El Salvador by training producers and technicians on sustainable farming practices, contributing to climate change mitigation. In Panama, 64 rice producers and 34 technicians learned climate-smart agriculture, leading to a 35% revenue increase and a 15% reduction in production costs per hectare. The project has also produced comprehensive guides for sustainable rice production and trained 143 ranchers in El Salvador on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, among other achievements. Despite ending in November, the project has been approved to continue for an additional five months, demonstrating its effectiveness and the commitment to further reducing the carbon footprint in agriculture.
