Global programs / ICTA
Grant is provided under the Innovative Scientific Research Project (9365542) to Guatemala's Institute of Science and Agricultural Technology (ICTA) to develop a whole-farm simulation model for bean-based farming systems in Guatemala. Working in the Jutiapa region, ICTA will collect and analyze data on soils, weather, crop growth (for bean, corn, and sorghum monocultures and intercrops), as well as on socioeconomic factors. The whole-farm model will be developed using these data, and once validated will be used by ICTA to identify appropriate technologies for improving bean-based farming. ICTA will also hold a workshop to demonstrate the advantages of simulation models over traditional experimentation and their ability to assess technological packages across sites and over time.

A few documents to read first. Each opens in the side panel, with the PDF to download.
Districts, regions and facilities named in the program's own documents, not verified sites. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far.
Sample Built from district names in Malawi documents while the full place data loads; it is not yet the finished place list.
Solid: the documents describe the program's work there. Faint: named in the program's documents. Bigger means more mentions. Shown: region or province, district; squares are facilities.

DEC topic and subject tags. They describe the documents, not what the program was. Each tag opens its evidence in the drawer.
Programs worth reading next, by topic, implementer, country and years. Similar by facets (topic, implementer, country, years) and, when available, description. It says the programs look alike, not how they are related in time. Source: catalog facets
