The pavilion of IICA and its partners, which for the third consecutive year is present at the world’s biggest forum on the environment, was the venue where the President and CEO of the U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC), Krysta Harden, showed the advances the sector has been making in recent years in the area of sustainability.

For the third consecutive year, IICA has collaborated with partners such as CAS and the Ministries of Agriculture of the Americas to bring the voice of agriculture and climate solutions to the annual COP conferences.

Actors from the continent reported on the results already being achieved through bioethanol and biodiesel in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, at the world's largest environmental forum.

Faced with this scenario, during COP29 IICA launched a groundbreaking mechanism aimed at mobilizing financial resources to strengthen producers across the continent. Lloyd Day explained that the Hemispheric Fund for Agricultural Resilience and Sustainability (FoHRSA) was developed in response to the difficulties that farmers face in accessing mechanisms that afford them protection, such as insurance, and new technologies that help them produce more with less.

These were some of the most powerful messages that emerged from one of the technical events held at the Home of Sustainable Agriculture of the Americas pavilion, set up by the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) and its partners at the Olympic Stadium in Baku

The conversation conveyed an optimistic outlook on the future of agriculture, an activity that is already contributing adaptation and mitigation solutions.
