Otero highlighted IICA\u2019s expanded technical cooperation in response to recent global crises, emphasizing the organization\u2019s strategic focus on science, innovation, and technology.

These initiatives are reaching approximately 10.5 million farmers and rural stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Over the past three years, IICA has executed initiatives valued at $200 million annually, contributing to the capacity development of 100 million small farmers across three continents in regenerative agriculture. The organization has also represented the interests of farmers from the Americas at major international forums on agriculture, development, and environmental issues.<\/p>\n
