In this era of dissent and conflict, we have to commend the fact that he has always prioritized the interests of the hemisphere and Argentina. He is a source of inspiration, even for domestic policy, as he has driven an important agenda that advocates for building bridges between agroindustry, farmers and environmental protection. Your country is relying on you to continue furthering the agenda that we need\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interest in various areas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another speaker at the event was the President of the National Academy of Agronomy and Veterinary Sciences of Argentina, Jorge Errecalde, who recalled that in April, Otero became a corresponding member of the Academy in Costa Rica\u2014where IICA Headquarters is based\u2014in light of his vision for agricultural policy in the Hemisphere.<\/p>\n<p>Errecalde said that, \u201cWe celebrate this distinction conferred on our dear friend Manuel Otero, an important figure in agricultural sciences.

This recognition is well deserved. I have witnessed Manuel\u2019s entire professional career, since he was the Agricultural Attach\u00e9 in Argentina\u2019s Embassy in the United States. Not only has he performed his successive roles with tremendous intelligence and sensitivity, but also with great effort and dedication. Moreover, he has done so, while remaining affable and cordial, as someone who knows how to relate to others\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Pi\u00f1eiro stressed that Otero still has a great deal of work ahead of him, since IICA is working assiduously to ensure that the Americas can speak as one in discussions on priority issues for the future of agriculture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Upcoming projects<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Otero confessed that he was moved and grateful and that he would continue working under the conviction that the best was yet to come. \u201cI know that I must have more projects than memories. That is only way to give life meaning\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The IICA Director General called to mind his mother and his father, Edison Otero, a renowned cardiologist and Argentinian politician, who presided over the Senate in the first democratic government after the last military dictatorship (76-83). The senior Otero was also instrumental in founding a cardiology department at the Fiorito public hospital (in the city of Avellaneda), which was one of the finest of its time.<\/p>\n<p>His son remembered how his father had embraced politics, as a means of assisting his fellow citizens. He also referred to his mother \u201cwho instilled a culture of effort, transparency and honesty, and who was the one who provided emotional stability in the home\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He recalled that, \u201cMy father used to tell me that the brain is a muscle that you have to train. The secret is to fight the battles that we consider important. I commit to continue carrying the flags of sustainable development, rural and urban integration and the dream of building a better country and hemisphere for everyone\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An extensive and outstanding career<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Otero is a veterinarian and graduate of the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). He has a Master\u2019s degree in Animal Production from the Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE), headquartered in Costa Rica, and an MSc. in Agricultural Development from Wye College, University of London.<\/p>\n<p>He began his first term as IICA Director General in 2018 and was re-elected for the 2022-2026 period by the Inter-American Board of Agriculture (IABA), which is comprised of ministers and secretaries of Agriculture of the 34 member countries of the specialized international agency for agricultural development and rural well-being.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"CToWUd a6T\" tabindex=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/ci6.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/B9Br2HPhwbmPleFda6QyCroGNi9XfqT1N4vZM5q8p5RnKXMq9puQkrhEtP3KEBOM4JfeUK6eTGPTClHILq_N4ukmNqczrLPn5hHyGIqdgFRkg34A47loqGZGCj3_A7wZgOJ-fcw0Yz--uIyIrCzL_r6KOAyG-Y4=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/ff34bcc5119da1b15d46b11f5\/images\/a00ed3c1-a988-300c-99f7-3d7889351e41.jpeg\" width=\"800\" height=\"1201\" data-bit=\"iit\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Parliamentarians Daniel Del Sol and Esteban Garrido conferred the award on the Director General of IICA.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Among his notable achievements at IICA are the creation of forums for discussion with other regions in the world, for example, by forging a relationship and facilitating exchange with Africa, which led to a roadmap and common agenda with African organizations.
