INVESTIGACIÓN Y DESARROLLO

Relevant CATIE projects or actions in Mexico

Biodiversidad y paisajes ganaderos agrosilvopastoriles sostenibles (BioPaSOS)

Promotes climate-smart and biodiversity-friendly agrosilvopastoral approaches among livestock producers in three pilot areas of Campeche, Chiapas, and Jalisco. It considers interventions at the farm level, which have been scaled up to the local and state scale to reduce negative impacts on biodiversity. It works with a focus on livestock value chains, in alliance with actors from the public and private sector, academia and other partners, to support decision-making and generate differentiated products (CATIE with listed partners: http://www.biopasos.com, support from IICA-AGROINNOVA and financing from IKI/BMU of Germany).

Desarrollo y adopción de tecnologías ligadas al sistema de MRV para REDD+ y el Sistema Nacional de Monitoreo Forestal

CATIE collaborates in strengthening capacities in forest carbon accounting and INGEI through the development of graphical interfaces to consolidate the INFyS database and to reinforce the institutionalization and use of the MAD-Mex software (CATIE supports CONAFOR's Activity Data Monitoring for Mexico).

Restauración Ecológica de Manglares y su Impacto en la Captura y Emisión de Carbono

Develops standardized principles and methodologies for ecological restoration of mangroves for Mesoamerica and the Dominican Republic. It also seeks that blue carbon accounting be incorporated into the commitments of the NDC and the accounting of the INGEI (CATIE/CINVESTAV/UNAM).

Intercambio de germoplasma de cacao

Is a collaboration with the Rosario Izapa Experimental Field of the National Institute of Forestry, Agricultural and Livestock Research (INIFAP) to share genetic material available in the cocoa banks of both institutions.

SOCIOS ESTRATÉGICOS

The impact of our actions is enhanced thanks to an extensive network of partners from various sectors. Since it began activities in Mexico, CATIE has formed strategic alliances with various partners, both from the public and private sectors, as well as local governments, academia, international cooperation, non-governmental organizations, community groups, rural producers, and their organizations. In the last two years, agreements have been signed with the Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco (UJAT), the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (SAGyP) and the Secretariat of Environment and Natural History (SEMAHN) of Chiapas, the University of Guadalajara (UDG) Jalisco and the Secretariat for Gender Equality (SEIGEN) of the State of Chiapas.
