The National Institute of Agricultural Research (INIAP) was honored during the 6th edition of the Sacha – GreenClimatech Awards, an initiative that highlights efforts integrating science, territory, and sustainability.

We proudly celebrate the recognition granted to our colleague Nelly Paredes in the Ancestral Knowledge category, who received a special mention for her outstanding work in conserving the country’s agrobiodiversity. Her dedication and leadership reflect the invaluable contributions of women in science and in the management of our genetic resources.

This work strengthens food security, promotes sustainable alternatives for small-scale producers, and integrates agricultural innovations with practices that respect soil, culture, and biodiversity.
