Black Soil provides innovative agricultural extension services, combining the application of starter fertilization and water into the furrow at the time of sowing by its own machine that can be retro-fitted to any existing seed drill.

El Ministro de las Secretaria de Energía, Recursos Naturales, Ambiente y Minas (MiAmbiente), José Antonio Galdames, en conferencia de prensa se mostró muy agradecido con la participación y asistencia de los Países y Agencias Latinoamericanas al primer taller Regional sobre el Fondo Verde del Clima (FVC), ya que Honduras sirve como ejemplo de experiencia en materia de medidas de adaptación y mitigación al Cambio Climático.

The objective of this book is to raise awareness in the hydrologic community of the important changes that have occurred in the climate and hydrology of the La Plata basin during recent decades. In a context of global climate change and of great regional changes, the assumption that series of climatological and hydrological observations are stationary must be regarded with suspicion. This book therefore presents an overview of the few available techniques for assessing future climate and hydrology.

CTCN organized its Regional Forum for Nationally Designated Entities of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) on August 20, 2018, in Montevideo, Uruguay, as part of the LAC Climate Week (August 20-23, 2018).

Nicaragua is an energy-poor and agriculture-dependent country. While the cattle and dairy sector is a dominating force among the country’s agricultural sectors, its productive output is remarkably low compared to that of neighbouring countries. Inefficient herding and farm management leads to hygiene issues, high loss of livestock and low production. Most small scale farmers lack access to modern energy. The sector is in dire need of productivity improvements to remain competitive in the region. 

The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) organized sub-regional forum for the climate focal points and network members from Latin America in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
