Various local development projects are being implemented to support rural economies and traditional industries. In Argentina, initiatives include an educational tourism project in Río Negro focused on sheep farming and wool production. In the Formosa province, training sessions have been conducted to promote mango cultivation through research into local adaptation. Additionally, in the Chaco province, the implementation of agromontane production techniques for agroecological vegetables has reportedly helped some families double or triple their income.

In Cuba, a local development project in Artemisa has been approved to focus on fish farming in a lagoon near the La Coronela dam. This project aims to utilize livestock waste for feed and intends to expand into biogas production and fish processing to create local employment.
