The FAO and Brazil's South-South Cooperation Program highlights a historical partnership combating hunger, food insecurity, inequality, and climate change in Latin America and the Caribbean. This collaboration fosters mutual learning, knowledge sharing, and the joint development of innovative projects.

Supported by FAO and the Brazilian Cooperation Agency (ABC/MRE), the program transforms agri-food systems for resilience and sustainability. Initiatives strengthen family farming, promote healthy school meals, foster responsible land governance, build urban food systems, and enhance technology access.

FAO scientists Marco and Enrico have developed a WEFE Nexus system, currently tested at Jordan's King Talal Dam. This system reduces water loss from evaporation, a critical issue for Jordan, which loses 25 million cubic meters annually from its dams.

Upon successful implementation in Jordan and the Arab region, the system promises billions in cost savings and enhanced water security. It also boosts energy efficiency and production by 20%, providing affordable energy for farmers and extending solar panel lifespan. It supports healthier food cultivation, agricultural expansion, and ecological systems, embodying the principle: "Every Drop Counts."

This record from La Higuera, Coquimbo, Chile, highlights the development of the La Higuera-Freirina Birregional Coastal Heritage Route. Set to launch in 2026, this initiative by Chile's Ministry of National Assets aims to provide public access to areas of high social, natural, cultural, and tourist value. It will offer accessible routes for vehicles, walking, cycling, and horseback riding, with local and institutional actors discussing its benefits.

Key support for this route comes from the GEF Marine Coastal Governance Project, implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and executed by Chile's Ministry of Environment, Undersecretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture, and National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service.

The La Higuera-Freirina Coastal Heritage Route, highlighted in Freirina, Chile, is a Chilean Ministry of National Assets initiative. It aims to provide public access to valuable natural, cultural, and tourist sites, offering various transport options. Local and institutional actors have discussed its benefits, with the route expected to launch in 2026.

Development of this route is significantly supported by the GEF Marine Coastal Governance Project. This project is implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and executed by Chile's Ministry of Environment, Undersecretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture, and National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service.

The "Youth Forum for the Transformation of Agri-food Systems" aims to establish a regional platform for young people across Latin America and the Caribbean. Its core objective is to strengthen their capacities, expand knowledge, foster collaborative networks, and develop joint proposals for transforming the region's agri-food systems.

The forum is structured over two days. Day one focuses on youth capacity building through workshops and interactive sessions, enhancing leadership, communication, and advocacy skills. Day two features a Preparatory Youth Dialogue, where participants will collectively develop a Regional Youth Declaration. This declaration will be a crucial input for the 39th FAO Regional Conference (LARC39) and other key decision-making forums.

Marco Colangeli and Enrico Mandola have developed an innovative solar energy system. Their active-cooled photovoltaic panels float on water surfaces, simultaneously reducing evaporation, increasing energy efficiency by 20%, and creating affordable energy production space for local farmers.

Tested and scientifically approved between August and December 2025, this system is ready for implementation. It offers a significant solution, potentially reducing Jordan's annual water loss from dams by approximately 25 million cubic meters.
