At the core of the visit was the presentation of the joint UF\u2013Zamorano initiative Fields & Futuro, a project designed to advance bilingual science communication, digital media production, and globally oriented agricultural education. The initiative promotes the collaborative creation of podcasts by Zamorano University students, instructors, and faculty interested in sharing perspectives on agriculture and rural development. Key topics include climate-smart agriculture, regenerative practices, food security, and technology adoption in the agri-food sector. As part of the visit, the delegation shared the project\u2019s goals, outlined opportunities for participation, and fostered dialogue with the academic community.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
