The session received positive feedback and sparked multiple inquiries about potential collaborations.<\/p><p>\u201cFor me, it was a very enriching experience due to the responsibility of representing CATIE before individuals of high rank and expertise. Additionally, having the opportunity to engage with some of them and spark their interest in collaborating with CATIE made this a highly educational conference,\u201d he stated.<\/p><p>The conference featured 120 presentations\u2014the highest number in its history\u2014covering topics such as sustainability, climate change, agritourism, and food security. CATIE\u2019s participation reaffirmed its commitment to innovation and international cooperation in addressing global challenges in agriculture and sustainability.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/trabajadores-agricolas3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/trabajadores-agricolas3.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/trabajadores-agricolas3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/trabajadores-agricolas3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/trabajadores-agricolas3-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/trabajadores-agricolas3-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><p><strong>Fostering International Collaborations<\/strong><\/p><p>Beyond his participation in the conference, Alvarado visited Tuskegee University, where he shared experiences with professors and students, promoted internships and exchanges, and presented CATIE\u2019s capabilities and achievements.<\/p><p>The visit emphasized the importance of renewing agreements between CATIE and the 1890 Land Grant Universities to strengthen academic ties and foster exchanges between both institutions.<\/p><p>\u201cAt Tuskegee University, I was warmly received and had the honor of speaking with two of the university\u2019s deans, as well as enjoying a pre-Thanksgiving dinner with professors.
