UACH sustainability initiatives in Chihuahua

Overview

In July 2026 the Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua (UACH) began a home‑composting campaign aimed at reducing household waste and promoting circular practices among local residents. A few weeks later, in August, the university expanded its environmental agenda with a biotechnology project to improve the sustainable cultivation of sotol, a plant used for a protected‑origin spirit. Led by Dr. María Antonia Flores Córdova, the research employs biotization and clonal multiplication to boost seedling survival, lessen reliance on wild harvests, and develop protocols for local producers, linking waste reduction with agricultural sustainability in the state of Chihuahua.
