🌱 Bioeconomy: a new way of thinking about agribusiness and rural territories. 📈 More than 1,100 projects from twenty countries across Latin America and the Caribbean are proving it. These are the submissions received for the LATAM 2025 Impact Agribusiness Competition, promoted by the IICA and FONTAGRO. 🤝 🌎 Across the continent and beyond, this transformation is already becoming visible through the everyday practices of a new generation of young rural producers and entrepreneurs. 🙌 These young entrepreneurs are no longer focused solely on producing more food. They naturally speak about biomass, traceability, bioinputs, carbon capture, biodiversity, and the circular economy. 💬 “Our motto is to work smart. It’s about science and technology, achieving better crop results, and understanding the environment and the land,” highlighted young entrepreneurs Akiesha Fergus and Ryan Khadou from Saint Kitts and Nevis.

Building Confidence through Scientific Advisory: transforming farmer lives in Ballari, Karnataka Maremma, a red chilli farmer from Orvai village in Ballari, Karnataka, relied heavily on neighbouring farmers and local input dealers for crop protection decisions. Sprays were often applied without proper diagnosis, leading to rising costs and inconsistent results. Through CII Foundation’s project “Strengthening Sustainability of the Spices Value Chain through FPOs”, implemented with Farmitopia's @CropmintApp, her farming journey took a more scientific direction. With regular field visits, timely advisory support, and practical guidance on pest and disease diagnosis, Maremma learned to use the right input at the right time, in the right dosage, and only when required. The impact was visible both in the field and in farm economics. Pest and disease pressure reduced through targeted applications, crop health improved, and input use became more efficient. Most significantly, Maremma recorded a net profit of ₹1,25,100—transforming a potential loss situation into a profitable outcome. What changed? Not just her crop management practices—but her confidence as a farmer. Because sustainable farming begins with informed decisions and trusted support.
