Colaboración entre México y El Salvador continúa proyecto que fortalecerá la seguridad alimentaria salvadoreña

La Agencia Mexicana de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo y el Gobierno de El Salvador activaron este lunes la segunda fase del programa Sembrando Vida, un proyecto bilateral orientado a consolidar la seguridad alimentaria y el desarrollo rural sostenible mediante acciones directas en los territorios.
El lanzamiento tuvo lugar en el departamento de La Libertad con la apertura oficial del registro de participantes y la presencia de autoridades mexicanas y salvadoreñas, marcando un compromiso renovado con las comunidades locales y su desarrollo autónomo, según informó la Agencia Mexicana de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (AMEXCID).
La implementación en esta nueva etapa busca ampliar significativamente el alcance del programa: de acuerdo con el embajador de México en El Salvador, Ricardo Cantú, se espera que el proyecto llegue a alrededor de 10.000 agricultores, una escala que, según destacó el diplomático al medio AMEXCID, supera los habituales beneficiarios de otras iniciativas de cooperación: “Cuando reviso informes de cooperación internacional de otros países, generalmente los beneficiarios son 100, 200 o 300 personas, no miles. Esa es una de sus virtudes: el beneficio llega directamente al agricultor”.
El objetivo central, señaló la viceministra de Relaciones Exteriores, Adriana Mira, es “contribuir a la seguridad alimentaria y al incremento de la productividad, especialmente de las personas en situación de retorno”.
La segunda fase de Sembrando Vida cubrirá 11 departamentos, con La Libertad como primer punto de partida y 320 personas inscritas ya en esta zona. Cada beneficiario recibirá un apoyo económico mensual durante ocho meses, junto con insumos agrícolas, plantas, herramientas y capacitación técnica continua.

Sembrando Vida: capacitación y arraigo territorial para transformar el campo salvadoreño
La directora ejecutiva de la AMEXCID, Alejandra del Moral Vela, aseguró que el proyecto contribuye directamente a fortalecer el tejido social y a generar oportunidades, impulsando alternativas de desarrollo local que permiten a las personas vivir con dignidad en su lugar de origen.
Según Del Moral Vela, el programa prioriza la capacitación, el acompañamiento técnico y la adopción de prácticas agroecológicas, estrategias que buscan mejorar la productividad, el autoconsumo y la comercialización, así como fomentar la permanencia y el bienestar de las comunidades rurales.
En la presentación oficial participaron además la directora de la Escuela Nacional de Agricultura (ENA), Odette Varela, y responsables de ambas delegaciones.
El embajador Cantú recalcó el valor estratégico de la colaboración bilateral, al afirmar: “Sembrando Vida, junto con otros proyectos que impulsa el Gobierno, está encaminado a alcanzar la soberanía alimentaria. Me alegra que la cooperación de México contribuya a este propósito (…) Las relaciones con El Salvador son excelentes y continuaremos fortaleciendo los lazos de amistad y respaldo entre nuestros pueblos”.
La segunda fase de Sembrando Vida se apoya en la experiencia y resultados de la etapa previa, que sentó bases para una cooperación estructurada desde el territorio y en alianza con las organizaciones locales.
Además de la transferencia de técnicas y recursos, las autoridades resaltaron el protagonismo de las comunidades y su papel en la generación de bienestar y futuro sostenible, una premisa que, según la directora de la AMEXCID, implica “sembrar vida y sembrar futuro para toda la región”.

El Proyecto Sembrando Vida fue lanzado en julio del 2019 en El Salvador, y consiste en otorgar apoyo económico, en especie y acompañamiento a los participantes para incentivar la implementación de Sistemas Productivos Agroforestales, los cuales combinan la producción de los cultivos tradicionales con el sistema de Milpa Intercalada entre Árboles Frutales (MIAF), en conjunto con hortalizas, árboles frutícolas y maderables.

A car plowed into a pedestrian zone in Leipzig, Germany, on Monday, killing two people and leaving several others seriously injured, officials said.
Reuters reported that police detained the driver, identified as a 33-year-old German man. Officials said there was no ongoing threat to the public as investigators work to determine what led to the incident.
Leipzig Mayor Burkhard Jung said the city was «mourning two deaths» and at least three people were seriously hurt, calling it a «horrific attack.»
«We are mourning two deaths, currently three seriously injured people, and many others who were injured,» Jung told journalists at a media briefing on Monday evening, according to Leipziger Volkszeitung.

«It’s impossible to find the right words for this horrific attack,» he added.
Germany, like several other European countries, has seen a string of car-ramming and stabbing attacks in recent years. Some have been tied to political or religious motives, while others have involved suspects with mental health issues.
Saxony’s prime minister, Michael Kretschmer, said the suspect in Monday’s incident may have been dealing with mental health issues. Officials said he surrendered without resistance, according to local outlet Leipziger Volkszeitung.

Police launched a large-scale response, flooding the area with emergency vehicles and shutting down nearby streets.
City officials described the incident as a «mass casualty event,» though the exact number of injuries was not immediately clear.
Local broadcaster Radio Leipzig reported that a damaged Volkswagen SUV was seen speeding through the pedestrian zone, with a person on top of the vehicle.

The incident comes amid a series of similar attacks across Germany.
Last year, two people were killed in Mannheim when a driver plowed into a group of pedestrians. Weeks earlier, another attack at a trade union demonstration in Munich left two dead and more than 40 injured, including several children.

GOP challenger Joe Kaufman to run in Florida’s 25th district; will face either Moskowitz or Wasserman Schultz

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Joe Kaufman knows what it’s like to lose a close race in a historically Democratic District. In fact, in the 2024 election cycle, Kaufman ran in the closest congressional race in the state, narrowly losing in the 23rd district to incumbent Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., a two-term congressman who has sought to build a moderate profile.
Florida has just completed its redistricting process, and this time around, Kaufman is confident that he can win, despite the Republicans facing headwinds.
Kaufman confirmed to Fox News Digital that in 2026, he will be running in the new 25th District, although it remains unclear exactly who his opponent will be or if he faces a primary challenger.
Moskowitz said on Monday that if he runs, it will be in the 25th District, while it appears that incumbent Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., who would be seeking her 12th term in Congress, is also weighing running in the same district.

Kaufman brings a battle-tested strategy and message to the race, on the heels of his near-victory in 2024:
«Yes, we had 48% of the vote. It was the closest race in all of Florida and the highest percentage of any Republican to ever run for that seat. But back then, I got in very late in the game and this time around our numbers are much better, and we’ve been able to form those coalitions that we needed to last time. We’ve done that now, and I will win this seat this time.»
Kaufman bills himself as a «terrorist hunter» and brings strong foreign policy credentials to the table.
«I do counter-terrorism research, writing and lectures.» He says he’s been involved in «the shutdown of terrorist charities and the imprisonment of terror-related individuals. Recently, I led the shutdown of a pro-Hamas conference that was to take place in Coral Springs, and the organizers, including CAIR and the South Florida Muslim Federation, they were upset, so they sued me and the Marriott Corporation in federal court. They sued us not once, but twice and I’m proud to say that we won not once, but twice.»
«He says in regard to foreign policy, «I’ve been very involved these past few years in what’s been taking place. 17 years ago, I was honored to co-found a group called Cyrus Force with his majesty, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, who we believe is going to be soon to be a future leader of Iran.»

Despite being a foreign policy hawk, Kaufman is opposed to putting troops on the ground in Iran.
«No, I don’t support ground troops, at least not from the United States. I don’t want to see what took place in wars past happen here with seeing Americans come back in body bags. I feel the same way about our friends in Israel.
«But there are third parties that want to get involved, and I say, give them the green light to do so. So, if there’s any ground troops…they shouldn’t be from America or Israel. It should be from these third parties.»
Kaufman is a strong advocate for vocational training in high school, and a critic of the Affordable Care Act.
«Well, for one thing, I support putting vocational training in all of the high schools in America. And it’s a project I want to initiate as a congressman. Too many kids today are staying home with their parents after they graduate high school. They need to have real job skills so they could make money, get out of their parents’ homes, be able to have their own families, and eventually, purchase their own house of their own.

«Also, I don’t like the Affordable Care Act. It was never affordable. It’s been taking hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies, thanks to the Democrats. And I think we need a new health care system that costs the American government less and costs the American taxpayer less and better quality. And I think we could have that without Obamacare.»

Historically, the party of the incumbent president loses seats in midterm elections the vast majority of the time. In what is widely believed to be a difficult year ahead for Republicans, Kaufman acknowledges the current engagement in Iran and the lingering effects of Biden-era inflation as challenges.
«Well, a lot of it has to do with the war overseas, but I believe that that’s going to be short term. I think that’s, that’s going to end soon. Also, with regards to inflation, we’re still dealing with the Biden years where Joe Biden initiated very heavy inflation for our country.

«And thank you, President Trump, for doing the things that would bring inflation down. So I’m looking forward to low inflation, better affordability and very soon an end to the war, and results overseas that allow us to have peace in the Middle East and more peace in world.»

Kaufman says the Democratic Party is fundamentally broken, and Republicans can win on messaging in 2026.
«Well, the Democrats, they’ve allowed people, an untold amount of people, to cross our borders, some of which have been terrorists and members of terror cells. They’ve hurt the values in the United States. They’ve destroyed our healthcare system with an Affordable Care Act that was never affordable. They’ve done everything possible to destroy our nation, and we need to make that change.»
