AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Agricultural Innovation: Costa Rica’s banana sector is testing gene editing, biological soil controls and drone surveillance to tackle shifting weather and fungal pressure, offering lessons for growers elsewhere. Tsunami Monitoring: The National Tsunami Monitoring System warns it may lose round-the-clock coverage in 2027 after university budget cuts leave too few staff to assess threats in real time. Tissue Engineering: UCR has taken a step toward growing human tissues with a new 3D bioprinter. Pesticide Use: A study finds Costa Rican farmers apply pesticides at rates well above official guidance, raising concerns about crop practices and environmental impacts. Marine Science: Tracking research off Costa Rica found young giant manta rays stay near the coast, while mature animals travel as far as Guatemala.
