El Programa Integra surgió como respuesta a la necesidad de promover y fortalecer el proceso de transición y mejora continua de los productores de caña de azúcar en Colombia hacia una gestión y producción sostenible.
La agricultura en Nicaragua ha seguido un modelo convencional que ha utilizado insumos inorgánicos y pesticidas, contaminando suelos, agua y el medio ambiente, especialmente en zonas afectadas por el monocultivo de algodón en los noventa. Para transformar este sistema hacia una producción sostenible y respetuosa con el medio ambiente, se creó una iniciativa agroecológica en el norte del país, en una zona declarada parque municipal. Este proyecto buscó cambiar el enfoque de la agricultura convencional a la agroecología, mediante una plataforma público-privada liderada por la Alcaldía.

As urbanization progresses, accessing nutritious and healthy foods has become challenging for households and communities due to the complex nature of food systems and poverty.

Currently, most small-scale, informal actors in Ugandan food systems, including farmers, informal vendors and distributors, do not receive fair economic returns.
