Desafio Cero

Sustainable Agriculture Challenge 23/24

We launched Desafío Cero to validate our solution and its positive impact on the food production chain.

Together with our partners, we seek to collaborate in the resolution of two major challenges: climate change and food security.

Climate
change
Food
security

We impact on these
Sustainable Development Goals (SDO)

In this opportunity we seek to incorporate, monitor and quantify the impact of the implementation of four Sustainable Agriculture Practices in the 23-24 campaign. For this, we believe that the articulation of different actors in the supply chain is essential.

For this reason, we convened 5 growers and 5 companies. From EDRA we believe that it is extremely important to start establishing long-term collaborative relationships to share efforts and benefits that accelerate the transition to sustainable production models through technology.

That is why in Desafío Cero we proposed

Implement

10 hectares of
conservation areas
500 hectares of
cover crops

Recover

125 tons
of food
2.500 kilos
of plastics

Edra is a climatech that promotes the implementation of nature-based solutions through technological tools.

We tell you about our technology and vision

Sustainable agriculture practices

Cover crop

The objective is to promote soil fertility and health, control weeds, pests and diseases, and increase biodiversity within the agroecosystem.

Key impacts:
  • Improved soil structure
  • Promotes fertility
  • Reduces the need for pesticides and moderates soil temperature

Conservation areas

Spaces of spontaneous vegetation that differ from their context or matrix in which they are immersed in the agricultural landscape and are defined by their dominant cover (agricultural, forest, pasture).

Key impacts:
  • Provides habitat for biodiversity.

Food loss and waste management

Recovery and distribution of fruit and vegetable production that does not meet market standards and redirects it to people suffering from food insecurity.

Key impacts:
  • Provides social and environmental value of food that lost its commercial value, avoiding GHG emissions.

Recovery of phytosanitary containers

Recovery of empty containers from fruit and vegetable production to promote their correct management and final disposal.

Key impact:
  • Provides environmental value by avoiding contamination as a result of poor disposal habits.
