The TC is consistent with the Second Update of the Institutional Strategy 2020-2023 (AB-3190-2), since it is aligned with the challenge of developing productivity and innovation, through support for the productive and sustainable development of the agricultural sector, and with the cross-cutting theme of climate change and environmental sustainability, through the key focus on climate change mitigation and the promotion of environmentally sustainable production throughout the sector. The TC is also consistent with the IDB Group Strategy with Argentina 2021-2023 (GN-3051), since it contributes to the second strategic pillar of economic recovery.
