What is it?

The International Symposium on Agave (ISA) was born in 2011 as part of an effort to offer the scientific and technological bases to the agave production chain to face the different challenges that arise in the years to come.

​

It is an international event that brings together recent scientific developments related to the protection and sustainable use of agave.
