Hambre cero

Hambre Cero is a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) established by the United Nations. This initiative seeks to reduce food poverty and food waste by 2030.

By 2022, it has been detected that more than 24 million people in Mexico live in food poverty.

Tecnológico de Monterrey is an institution of society for society and that is why we join in the development of these objectives, promoting actions that have a significant impact. By 2023, we committed to collecting 80 tons of beans, rice and oil to donate to banks that are part of the National Food Bank Network.

Hunger is not the problem, people are the solution.

JOIN

In Mexico there are more than 25 thousand tons of tomatoes left over, enough to build 10 times the Latin tower.

Help us get food to those who need it most.

Equipment and technology

iSeq 100

The iSeq 100 is an ideal system for sequencing small genomes (bacteria, viruses, plasmids, etc.). It is ideal for carrying out 16s metagenomics studies.

MiSeq

This equipment permits deeper metagenomics studies, performing target gene sequencing, allowing us to obtain up to 15 Gb of information with 25 million readings and read lengths of 2 × 300 bp.

NovaSeq 6000

It is the largest equipment for short-length sequencing on the market; it is used when projects require massive sequencing of samples or to achieve greater sequencing depth and, therefore, more robust sequences.

Entornos Persona, Comunidad y Planeta del entorno para florecer del Tec de Monterrey

At Tecnológico de Monterrey, we facilitate spaces to start conversations around Human Flourishing in three dimensions: individual, community, and planet.

On a personal level, let's strive to develop our capacities, strengths, and virtues in all important aspects of our lives, enabling us to take actions that provide purpose and meaning to our existence.

Committing to community development involves being an integral individual who promotes citizenship through close, DIVERSE, AND RESPECTFUL relationships that honor the dignity of every person.

Take climate action by caring for OUR planet and being responsible for the impact we have on it. We can engage in sustainable development activities, be mindful of our consumption habits, and reshape our environmental, financial, and community well-being culture.

Check out the resources and grab the tools you
need to become the best version of yourself!

A Mapping Tool to recognize your Human Flourishing

At this point in the journey, we assume you're curious to explore the areas where you've cultivated your Human Flourishing.

If so, you're on the right track! Human Flourishing is a personal decision, an individual path you navigate alone toward the collective and back to yourself. It's a personal discovery you unfold through a series of actions you take in the community—for yourself, others, and the planet you live in.

Have you ever wondered which aspects of your
life contribute to your Human Flourishing?
