The Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT helped Ecuador's Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock develop and implement nationwide digital maps of physicochemical soil properties and soil fertility.

The Ministry won an award for producing the best thematic map in 2022 and continues to disseminate the maps to all provinces.
