The project aimed to improve RMT (rapid multiplication techniques) such as Aeroponics and Hydroponics, in order to increase the production and reduce the cost of certified seed of varieties suitable for small farmers in Ecuador and Peru. Therefore, yields will increase and food security (availability and access) will improve.
