Summary: In this Project, which began in 2006, Universities are collaborating with rural communities and other relevant stakeholders to increase food security through better pest management practices. The four participating Universities are the Universidad de Costa Rica, Universidad Nacional Agraria (Nicaragua), the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras. and University of Manitoba (Canada). Funding for regional inter-disciplinary collaboration and capacity building is provided by the Canadian International Development Agency under its University Partnerships in Cooperation and Development Program.
