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

La desnutrici\u00f3n es la principal causa de mortalidad infantil.<\/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

Se ha demostrado en ensayos controlados aleatorios internos y externos que el ma\u00edz biofortificado mejora la salud y el crecimiento de los ni\u00f1os. <\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tConsulte nuestra evidencia nutricional\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n

\n\t\t\tMedios de Vida\t<\/h2>\n\t

Los peque\u00f1os productores de ma\u00edz se encuentran entre los m\u00e1s pobres de Am\u00e9rica Latina y \u00c1frica subsahariana.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Las semillas de alto rendimiento y resistentes al clima pueden duplicar con creces los ingresos, pero los agricultores que m\u00e1s las necesitan a menudo no pueden pagarlas.<\/p>\n

Cambiar a nuestras semillas puede mejorar el rendimiento de los agricultores entre un 17 % y un 251 %, incluso si contin\u00faan con sus pr\u00e1cticas agr\u00edcolas habituales.<\/p>\n\t

Nuestros programas y alianzas mejoraron el acceso a semillas, de modo que los agricultores m\u00e1s pobres puedan adquirirlas.<\/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 2024, los agricultores guatemaltecos que compraron nuestras semillas pagaron un promedio de ~$25 por ellas y aumentaron sus ganancias en un $190.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVea nuestras pruebas sobre medios de vida\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n

\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

Los agricultores que utilizan nuestras semillas obtienen ingresos entre tres y cinco veces superiores en \u00e9pocas de sequ\u00eda y tormentas.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
