“What I liked the most was the biodiversity garden, how the plants should be arranged in the garden so that we can make better use of the space and so that the plants protect each other.” For Juanita Venegas, a producer from San Nicolás, the First Regional Meeting on Sustainable Agriculture was a success, because it allowed her to talk with peers as interested as her in improving their production practices to make them more sustainable.
The Regional Meeting is part of the activities of the Transition to Sustainable Agriculture TAS program, of Indap, which is executed in coordination with INIA Quilamapu for the technical assistance of 74 producers from the communes of Yungay and Pemuco who are transitioning to a cleaner agriculture, in accordance with Indap’s strategic guidelines that aim to increase the generation of more sustainable and organic foods for the Chilean table, under the premise of producing more and better with less environmental impact.
Those attending the Sustainable Agriculture Meeting had the opportunity to participate in seven technical stations where biodiversity in the garden, biodiversity in the farm, irrigation, vermicomposting and vermiculture, composting, meadow management and use of endophytic fungi were addressed, with practical recommendations. management approaches for peasant family farming. Additionally, a discussion was held where the challenges of sustainable agriculture were addressed as well as its approaches and contributions to peasant life and the population in general.
Natividad Lagos, a producer from Rucapequén, commented that this was an activity well received by the farmers, “because we were able to make known the needs we have and how we want to prevail as TAS in the region.”
“The Transition to Sustainable Agriculture program is an emblematic program of Indap, which is being carried out for the first time in the region, in the communes of Pemuco and Yungay, mainly with women who are transitioning to agroecology,” commented the director of Indap. Ñuble, Fernanda Azócar. The program enables a professional team to accompany them in this transition, “given that one of the emphases that we have as an institution is a cleaner, safer agriculture, with global access and that takes the elements that are typical of our farmers. peasants from the Ñuble Region,” highlighted the directive, adding that Indap’s proposal is also part of the government program that aims at sustainable agriculture.
For Governor Oscar Crisóstomo, “the transition to sustainable agriculture is in the DNA of our region, but it was not institutionalized, so this program will allow us to demonstrate that the transition to sustainable agriculture is what we need for the times. that we are living, because we have to understand that we need food and economy, but with care for what we have today, our people and our land.”
For the director of INIA Quilamapu, Javier Chilian, this meeting allowed us to show the experience that the institution has developed in the agroecological lighthouse of Santa Rosa and that today is being delivered to the farmers who participate in the TAS Program and those who attended this event. regional. “Indap, through government guidelines, is highlighting the sustainable production that we have been developing and we are showing it for the different areas, from the production of bioinputs to agroecological management.”

The Dow Jones fell 1.35%, the Nasdaq index fell 1.40% and the broader S&P 500 index lost 1.23%.
The session started in the green, following three days of consolidation, but the indices turned around before the close.
The reason, according to Angelo Kourkafas of Edward Jones, was “offensive statements by members of the Fed”, which contrasted with comments deemed accommodating by the president of the institution, Jerome Powell, on Wednesday.
The president of the Fed branch in Minneapolis, Neel Kashkari, notably warned that “if inflation continued to oscillate”, with occasional bursts, he would “(ask) the question of knowing whether we should not forgo any decline” this year.
Another element justifying the decline of the indices, “the rise in oil prices, which annoys” investors, according to Angelo Kourkafas.

This new setback came once morest a backdrop of deterioration in the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.

Beyond that, Angelo Kourkafas recalls that “the market remains on five months of gains. To continue at this pace, it needs a catalyst, which it does not have, for the moment.”
Art Hogan of B. Riley Wealth Management agrees, believing that “the market is looking for a reason to sell” and found it on Thursday in the rise in oil.
Despite cautious comments from several Fed bankers, who sought to calm expectations of an upcoming rate cut, bond yields contracted.
The yield on 10-year US government bonds fell to 4.30%, compared to 4.34% the day before at closing.
For Angelo Kourkafas, this movement is the result of a flight towards assets considered less risky, in particular US Treasury bonds.
The decline of the New York market did not go into detail, taking almost all the members of the Dow Jones and the large technological capitalizations of the Nasdaq into the red.
A favorite of the stock market for over a year, Nvidia paid the price for this storm (-3.44%). Caught in the recent consolidation, the semiconductor specialist lost nearly 10% in ten days.
Its competitors Broadcom (-3.35%), AMD (-8.26%) and Qualcomm (-2.39%) also suffered.

After jumping on Wednesday, Paramount Global came back down to earth (-8.51%). Investors were shocked by CNBC’s information that in the event of a merger with the Skydance Media studio, mentioned the day before, the media group would have to issue new shares to raise capital.
