Estudio de bosques amazónicos a través de Parcelas Multipropósitos Permanentes

Las Parcelas Multipropósito Permanentes (PMP) en el estado Amazonas permiten el estudio y monitoreo de los bosques, proporcionando información sobre su biodiversidad, estructura y reservas de carbono.

Combating Drought and El Niño in the Dry Corridor with Soil Science

El Niño está intensificando la sequía en el Corredor Seco de Centroamérica, lo que representa un desafío creciente para los agricultores de Guatemala y Honduras en la producción de alimentos básicos como el maíz y el frijol. Esto pone en riesgo sus medios de vida y la seguridad alimentaria de sus comunidades.

El programa SoilFER de la FAO está ayudando a mitigar estos efectos mediante la recolección y análisis de muestras de suelo, creando mapas de fertilidad y ofreciendo recomendaciones para mejorar la salud del suelo y la resiliencia ante fenómenos meteorológicos extremos. Este video documenta la colaboración entre agricultores, investigadores y socios gubernamentales en la búsqueda de soluciones prácticas.
