 The Brazilian Cooperation Agency, ABC, under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brazil and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, FAO, celebrate the 10 years of the Moor-Caddon Project, a trilateral South-South Cooperation Initiative in partnership with seven partner countries, Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Haiti, Ecuador, Paraguay and Peru. As part of the Brazil FAO International Cooperation Program, the Moor-Caddon Project is an initiative in partnership with more than 100 institutions from the public and private sectors to strengthen the current sector in the region. Thanks to funds from the Brazilian Caddon Institute, IBA and ABC, Brazil's successful experience has been a reference for the project through the sharing of good practices and technologies that can contribute to the rural development of family-based codon farming and boost the agro-textile system. Over a decade, the project's partner countries have invested in public policies and programs to leverage and promote sustainable codon production. Bolivia launched its National Codon Production Support Program. Peru reformulated its national plan. Colombia included codon among the 10 priority crops. Ecuador strengthened research and Paraguay reactivated its codon board and codon production in the Czech Republic. In order to generate more knowledge for extension and research professionals, the Moor-Caddon Project has promoted training, national and international missions, studies and innovations from production to consumption. In Argentina and IT, important studies were done based on the codon chain situation analysis, which will serve as the basis for implementing country projects. More than 150 field days held and 128 demo plots set up provided the means for good practices to be shared on topics such as soil and pest management, association of codon with food crops, mechanized harvesting and access to markets. In addition to promoting an increase in production, the project has also boosted the competitiveness of the codon sector to better position the Latin American codon and connect family farming to sustainable markets, thus increasing the income. With the support of the Brazilian Association of Codon Farmers, ABRAPA, actions have been implemented to promote access to markets with technical assistance for formulating business plans and participation in events and business roundtables. Together with the codon unit of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation, ABRAPA and national institutions efforts have been put into improving the supply of certified seeds in partner countries. Bolivia, Ecuador and Paraguay have reactivated their national seed production, which has contributed to increasing the yields and production of higher quality codon fibers. Seven ABRAPA's codon varieties were validated. More than 86 accessions of native codons were collected. Seven national varieties were validated and more than 41 tons of seeds were produced. In line with technology development, the more codon project has been embracing innovation as a driver for the sustainable development of family-based codon farming. The One Row Harvester, developed by ABRAPA codon, is a milestone in the investment in technology at the service of family farming, as well as other equipment adapted to the small farming areas. Another innovation is the use of drones. In Ecuador, the equipment was used to analyze crops and yields, whereas in Colombia it is used for applying pesticides and fertilizers. In Peru, the use of the digital agricultural tool, Smart Agro 4.0, in pilot farms, has contributed to making water management more efficient in codon farming. To promote digital inclusion in rural areas, the project designed the Lasus app, a platform to connect the main players in the Latin American codon sector. The More Codon project has a strengthened technical assistance and rural extension, allowing more than 14,000 farmers and family farmers to have access to information and training on best farming practices for codon and food crops. Together with the company of research, Rural Extension and Land Tenure Regularization of the State of Paraiba, Empire, PB, methodologies were adapted to control codon ball weevils with bio-preparations, thus promoting the rational use of pesticides. Economic sustainability goes hand in hand with food security for codon growing families. To this end, the cooperation initiative with the support of partner institutions has been promoting the diversification of the production system in partner countries, whereby codon is associated with food crops such as corn and beans, a system inspired by the model in place in the northeast of Brazil. It's to give visibility to the important role that rural women play throughout the codon value chain from farming to selling clothes. In order to create more spaces at the regional level for women to have a voice, the Latin American network of codon farming women was launched to improve the exchange of knowledge and dialogue among codon farming women. With a focus on the codon farming youth, the project has carried out actions with students from agricultural technical schools and young family farmers to boost their confidence about relying on the countryside and codon farming as a source of income and employment. The project has also supported the reaffirmation of the cultural, religious, historical and economic importance of native codon so as to preserve its valuable ancestral heritage hand-in-hand with native peoples of several partner countries. Over 10 years through this cooperation initiative, codon has once again been featured in the media of partner countries as a result of the project's communication strategy. A space for dialogue about codon was created among partner countries with support from the project. The original codon forum provides the means for carrying out exchange of experience and discussions about challenges and opportunities related to the codon value chain. The collaboration between FAO, ABC and partner countries is a showcase for the mutual benefits of working together and promoting international cooperation. Thanks to the dedication of women, men and young people who sow, harvest, gin, spin, weave, manufacture and market, the codon value chain has been strengthened with the support from those who do research and provide technical assistance and rural extension, all of which are part of this history of codon in Latin America that has begun to be rewritten since a decade ago. A history that moves everybody forward together because together we are more codon.
