The Centre promotes research into the Bio Economy that offers a new epistemology to investigate the socioeconomic system in partnership with the biological system and involves the validation of Bio Technology in the agricultural forest production subsystem and coastal marine research in terms of adaptability and mitigation of climate change. For this, the Centre promotes multidisciplinary research between universities colaborative CNU members and CSUCA. The centre focuses on agricultural production systems, livestock, forestry, aquaculture and beekeeping in investigative function of food and nutrition security and adaptability and mitigation of climate change. The research center and graduate based on organizational autonomy, brings together specialists in the agricultural sciences, science, food technology, quality control, legal and social science and applied economics from UNAN-Leon and the member universities CNU (i.e. UNA, NITLAPAN-UCA-Managua UNAN) organized on the advisory board with key representatives of organizations of farmers organized in the production board in order to exploit synergies to meet farmer demand .
