Visit to an agricultural research center of international prominence

When visiting the campus of the Alliance of Bioversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), near Cali, in southwestern Colombia, don't be surprised to meet Don Roverto and Tatiana, the robotic vehicles that roam over crops analyzing data that make possible to efficiently monitor the development of food varieties key to the planet's food security. Or when you see drones flying overhead, monitoring the development of crops on this 500-hectare plot of land.

Nor when you enter the 20-degree-below-zero vault that safeguards the global collections of beans and tropical forages. The tour also includes the iconic Future Seeds building, the first genebank in the world to obtain a Platinum Certification from LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).

TOUR OF THE WORLD MOSQUITO PROGRAM’S MOSQUITO MASS PRODUCTION FACILITY

OPEN TO JOURNALISTS WHO REGISTER FOR THE LEARNING SESSION ON NEW TOOLS FOR THE GLOBAL FIGHT AGAINST DENGUE

Dengue fever is the world’s fastest-growing mosquito-borne disease, annually infecting nearly 400 million people across 129 countries. Climate change, globalization, and urbanization are accelerating its spread, and the WHO has declared it one of the top-10 threats to global health. But for the first time in history, effective vector control tools and vaccines are emerging to fight this dreaded disease, and new, multi-country efforts to develop urgently needed treatments have been launched.

Journalists who register for the learning session will be transported to the World Mosquito Program’s mosquito mass production facility in Medellin, where they will receive a tour of the insectary, which is capable of producing 40 million Wolbachia-carrying mosquitoes each week. Tours will be offered in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and journalists will learn how WMP technicians manage the production and delivery of these mosquitoes to urban communities in Colombia.

Following the tour, reporters are invited to participate in an on-the-record Q&A session regarding the development of new vaccines, therapeutics, and vector control methods for dengue with subject-matter experts.
