Synopsis (short abstract) The case study on the collaboration between FAO and the Embrapa aims to highlight the results achieved within the framework of the Brazil-FAO International Cooperation Program with a particular focus on Embrapa's technical support during the implementation of the +Cotton Project in five countries in the Latin American and Caribbean region. The document presents key achievements on seed validation and policy review, training, cotton boll weevil control, and machinery adapted to cotton family farming including the transference of technology for the region, as well as a way forward in support of the integration and implementation of a sustainability model to strengthen cotton production systems for cotton family farming, and strengthening of strategic themes at the regional level for the cotton sector.

In the last 20 years, project partner countries such as Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Peru, where 80 percent of cotton production is in the hands of family farmers or small-scale agriculture, have faced a decrease in cotton production, affecting the potential of thousands of farming families to generate income. South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) represents an opportunity for the exchange of knowledge and experiences, generating innovation in terms of technology and management of the cotton sector in the countries involved in the +Cotton Project. This scale-up note is part of a series of SSTC scale-up notes, which provide an insight into SSTC's latest partnerships and ventures to encourage countries across the global South to share resources and technologies to improve their ecosystems and economies.
