Cultivating Climate Action: new podcast series on Climate-Smart Agriculture in LAC
PLACA, the World Bank and IICA are launching a series of podcasts aimed at disseminating this new approach to agriculture and raising awareness of the importance of Climate-Smart Agriculture in the current context.
Junio de 2025.- The The Platform of Latin America and the Caribbean for Climate Action on Agriculture (PLACA), the World Bank and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) have joined forces to launch "Cultivating Climate Action", a series of six podcasts that seeks to bring the public closer to the fundamentals and benefits of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA).
This regional alliance seeks to promote knowledge and the systematic adoption of sustainable agricultural practices that are resilient to climate change. Through an agile and evidence-based conversation, each episode presents the contribution of specialists and concrete experiences that help to understand how CSA can improve agricultural productivity, reduce emissions and adapt to climate impacts.

This series of podcasts is a tool to bring technical knowledge closer to the countries, make visible solutions focused on the Latin American context and reinforce the shared commitment to more sustainable and resilient production models to the effects of climate change.”Abigail Alvarado, coordinator of PLACA.
