It is part of AGROMIRA, the international platform promoted by CATIE that fosters innovation, applied knowledge, and stakeholder coordination to transform agrifood systems toward more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient models.<\/p><p>IAgros is structured into three modules: Innovation for the Agrifood Sector; Value Chains and Sustainability in Agribusiness; and Financial Management for Agribusiness. In addition, the program offers an optional module focused on either community collaboration or project management, depending on participants\u2019 interests.<\/p><p>The teaching staff is composed of CATIE specialists with extensive experience in agribusiness, innovation, and sustainability. Each module combines technical content with practical tools and case studies relevant to the current context of the sector, incorporating dedicated sessions on artificial intelligence and the use of a module-specific GPT to support learning and decision-making.<\/p><p>Key benefits of the diploma include its flexible virtual format, continuous academic support, access to cloud-based materials, synchronous Zoom sessions, and the opportunity to obtain a digital certificate issued by CATIE. The program is designed to enable the immediate application of acquired knowledge in projects, ventures, companies, or institutions within the agrifood sector.<\/p><p>The general cost of the diploma is USD 1,200; however, CATIE offers special discounts based on participant profiles. Notably, a 35% early-bird discount is available to the first 20 individuals who complete their enrollment. Additional benefits are available for graduates of the GANEMOS master\u2019s program, AGROMIRA participants, CATIE staff and alumni, as well as special rates for corporate groups.<\/p><p>Interested individuals can find full details on the program, modules, faculty, and enrollment options on the official website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/diplomado-iagros\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/diplomado-iagros\/<\/a><br><br><br><br><br><\/p><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>Andrea Garay<br>Specialist in Sustainable Agribusiness<br>Environmental Economics and Sustainable Agribusiness Unit UEASS\/EfD<br>CATIE<br><a href=\"mailto:agronegocios@catie.ac.cr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">agronegocios@catie.ac.cr<\/a>&nbsp;<\/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 Madrigal Pereira<br>Communicator<br>Communications and Marketing Office<br>CATIE<br><a href=\"mailto:karla.madrigal@catie.ac.cr\">karla.madrigal@catie.ac.cr<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El CATIE (Centro Agron\u00f3mico Tropical de Investigaci\u00f3n y Ense\u00f1anza) anunci\u00f3 la apertura de matr\u00edcula del Diplomado Internacional de Innovaci\u00f3n en Agronegocios Sostenibles (IAgros), una propuesta acad\u00e9mica orientada a fortalecer las capacidades de t\u00e9cnicos, profesionales y personas emprendedoras vinculadas al sector &hellip; <\/p>","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":39849,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"pmpro_default_level":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[263,795,794],"class_list":["post-39843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-agronegocios-sostenibles","tag-diplomado-en-agronegocios","tag-innovacion-agroalimentaria","pmpro-has-access"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39843"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39843\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39850,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39843\/revisions\/39850"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
