\n\t\t\tNutrici\u00f3n y salud\t<\/h2>\n\t

La desnutrici\u00f3n est\u00e1 vinculada a casi la mitad de todas las muertes entre los ni\u00f1os menores de 5 a\u00f1os.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Las familias de bajos ingresos dependen del ma\u00edz porque es barato, pero carece de nutrientes esenciales. Esto provoca retrasos en el crecimiento, deterioro cognitivo, enfermedades y p\u00e9rdidas de ingresos de por vida que mantienen a las comunidades atrapadas en la pobreza.<\/p>\n\t

En lugar de cambiar la alimentaci\u00f3n, mejoramos el ma\u00edz en s\u00ed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nuestro ma\u00edz biofortificado contiene 391 TP3T m\u00e1s de zinc, 191 TP3T m\u00e1s de hierro y entre 30 y 801 TP3T m\u00e1s de lisina y tript\u00f3fano (prote\u00ednas de alta calidad).<\/p>\n

Los ensayos aleatorizados han demostrado que el ma\u00edz de prote\u00edna de calidad mejora el crecimiento de los ni\u00f1os y que el ma\u00edz enriquecido con zinc aumenta la cantidad de zinc que los ni\u00f1os absorben.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nConsulte nuestra evidencia nutricional<\/a>

La mayor\u00eda de las personas m\u00e1s pobres del mundo son agricultores peque\u00f1os, y en las regiones donde trabajamos esos agricultores cultivan ma\u00edz.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Los agricultores que plantan semillas de ma\u00edz de alto rendimiento y resistentes al clima pueden obtener m\u00e1s ingresos, pero los agricultores que podr\u00edan beneficiarse m\u00e1s a menudo no pueden permit\u00edrselos.<\/p>\n

En nuestras parcelas de agricultores, la transici\u00f3n a nuestros semillas mejor\u00f3 los rendimientos en un 9-26%, sin cambiar nada m\u00e1s respecto a la forma en que cultivan.<\/p>\n\t

Nuestros programas y asociaciones hacen que las semillas mejoradas est\u00e9n disponibles para que los agricultores m\u00e1s pobres puedan permit\u00edrselas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nuestros agricultores suelen pasar de producir menos de lo que necesitan para alimentar a sus familias a producir lo suficiente como para vender el excedente en el mercado.<\/p>\n

En 2025, los agricultores guatemaltecos que compraron nuestras semillas pagaron una media de ~$41 por cada lote, lo que aument\u00f3 su ingreso neto en un $233%.<\/strong><\/p>\nVea nuestras pruebas sobre medios de vida<\/a>

\n\t\t\tResiliencia clim\u00e1tica\t<\/h2>\n\t

Los peque\u00f1os agricultores son extremadamente vulnerables al cambio clim\u00e1tico.<\/strong><\/p>\n

En 2022, 56% de los agricultores encuestados perdieron sus cosechas debido a tormentas extremas y 29% debido a la sequ\u00eda, lo que alimenta la pobreza y la migraci\u00f3n. A medida que aumentan los niveles de CO2, el ma\u00edz se vuelve menos nutritivo, lo que contribuye a\u00fan m\u00e1s a la desnutrici\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\t

Desarrollamos nuestras semillas para que sean las m\u00e1s resistentes a las tormentas, las sequ\u00edas y las nuevas enfermedades y plagas.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Comenzamos con semillas que ya son resistentes al clima y las probamos en los entornos m\u00e1s extremos de Guatemala, lanzando al mercado solo las mejores y m\u00e1s nutritivas.<\/p>\n

Nuestra ventaja de rendimiento de semillas es casi el doble de grande durante las sequ\u00edas que en el clima normal.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
