A tiller is a self-propelled agricultural machine used to prepare land for sowing or cultivation in gardens and orchards.

In the El Botadero community of the municipality of Jutiapa, a land preparation workshop for potato cultivation was held, with the participation of KOPIA Project professionals and beneficiary women farmers.
The new Plan aims to revitalize seed potato cultivation by increasing the number of hectares cultivated in Alava.
The European agricultural sector faces a major challenge that threatens its medium-term viability: the growing shortage of effective plant protection products that allow farmers to protect their crops from diseases and pests.
