PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Background:
Agriculture and inappropriate land use are causing biodiversity loss and increasing greenhouse gas emissions in Mexico. Rural development is crucial because agriculture shapes the country's economy, culture, and politics.

Objective:
Mexico has improved its policies and the conditions for the transformation of agriculture and food systems toward greater environmental and social responsibility. The structure and form of the brief project descriptions are clearly defined; the English text should not exceed a maximum of 1,800 characters (including spaces).
