Under this approach, researchers from the Livestock and Environmental Management Unit of CATIE (Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center) participated in this convention and shared their experiences to promote sustainable livestock production.<\/p><p>Researchers Felipe Peguero and Andr\u00e9s Vega made contributions in the Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) panel, where they emphasized CATIE's efforts to support the formulation and implementation of different NAMAs in the region, for example, the livestock NAMA in Honduras and Costa Rica. In addition, they talked about low carbon technologies, prioritized in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and their impacts, showing information from Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama and Dominican Republic, as well as the efforts that have been carried out to scale up mitigation and adaptation interventions in Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama and Dominican Republic.<\/p><p>Milagro Milera, researcher at the Indio Hatuey Experimental Station, praised CATIE's experience and track record in the formulation of NAMAs in the region and acknowledged the support that the Center has provided to Cuba in the formulation of its National Strategy for Sustainable Livestock Production.<\/p><p>On the second day of the convention, researcher Crist\u00f3bal Villanueva participated in the II International Symposium on&nbsp;<em>Tithonia diversifolia&nbsp;<\/em>in Agricultural Production Systems, where he presented the use of <em>Tithonia diversifolia&nbsp;<\/em>as a protein supplement and its effect on the reduction of nitrogen in animal urine.<\/p><p>On the third day of the event, researchers Edwin P\u00e9rez and Jos\u00e9 Antonio Jim\u00e9nez participated in the panel entitled Innovation, Territorial Development and Social Equity. In this panel, they presented experiences of the Biodiversity and Sustainable Agro-silvopastoral Livestock Landscapes project, known as<strong> <\/strong>BioPaSOS, which is implemented in territories of three Mexican states. The first experience was about how sustainable livestock farming was promoted, and the second about the Field Schools as a strategy to strengthen the capacities of livestock-producing families.<\/p><p>CATIE was also invited to a round table with the Institute of Animal Science (ICA, its Spanish acronym) to identify potential collaboration opportunities.<\/p><p>Finally, on the closing day, CATIE participated in the panel on Biostatistics, Bioinformatics and Socioeconomics, where Peguero and Vega presented the GAMMA tool, used to measure greenhouse gases (GHG) on livestock farms, and the mathematical-financial model to evaluate profitability and climate risk on livestock farms.<\/p><p>The convention had more than 450 contributions from specialists, researchers, professors, students, breeders and producers from 18 countries, related to animal production and the development of agricultural systems.<\/p><p><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"638\" data-id=\"14343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba2.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba2-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba2-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"638\" data-id=\"14344\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba3.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba3-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba3-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"638\" data-id=\"14346\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba4.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba4-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ganaderia-cuba4-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><p><strong>More information<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n<p>Felipe Peguero, Ph.D.<\/p>\n\n<p>Specialist in Agricultural Economics and Climate Finance<\/p>\n\n<p>Livestock and Environmental Management Unit<\/p>\n\n<p>CATIE<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:felipe.peguero@catie.ac.cr\">felipe.peguero@catie.ac.cr<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>Andr\u00e9s Vega<\/p>\n\n<p>Researcher<\/p>\n\n<p>Livestock and Environmental Management Unit<\/p>\n\n<p>CATIE<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:andres.vega@catie.ac.cr\">andres.vega@catie.ac.cr<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><p><strong>Written by:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Karla Salazar Leiva<\/p>\n\n<p>Communicator<\/p>\n\n<p>Information Technology and Communication<\/p>\n\n<p>CATIE<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:karla.salazar@catie.ac.cr\">karla.salazar@catie.ac.cr<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Investigadores de la Unidad de Ganader\u00eda y Manejo del Ambiente participaron en la Convenci\u00f3n Producci\u00f3n Animal y Agrodesarrollo 2022, desarrollada en suelo cubano 19 de octubre de 2022.
