Research

EARTH makes research another essential component of its curriculum and the University incorporates it into each of its courses. The main goal is to strengthen the generation and diffusion of new knowledge in order to contribute to the sustainable development of the humid tropics and to support the learning process at EARTH.

The University carries out innovative research that is directed at improving agricultural production practices in order to help address the challenges that currently confront rural communities in the tropics. Through these research projects, EARTH aims to find ways to use natural resources carefully and efficiently.

Our research program is unique for three reasons:

• Research is focused on strengthening the educational system;
• Research is applied and it is focused on addressing problems related to: the sustainable management of agricultural, fish and forest production, and rational resource use; and
• The users and beneficiaries of the research program are the farmers and communities in the humid tropics.
