The Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) has called upon states to offer increased collaboration in advancing key efforts to transform the sustainability of agri-food systems across hemispheres.

At a recent ceremony to install Manuel Otera, who was re-elected to serve for a second-consecutive term as director general of IICA, he urged states to work towards strengthening collaborations and to seek after increased solutions to accelerate developments in the agriculture sector.

 

“The only way out is to recognise the fact that our agri-food systems play a key strategic role in driving sustainable processes for the generation of employment, progress and social peace,” he said in his acceptance speech ahead of his new four-year term.
