Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
11 billion tons of food are produced annually on a global scale within the framework of food systems (FAO, 2024).
36% of women workers worldwide were employed in agri-food systems in 2019 (FAO, 2024).
60 million people worldwide work in the primary sectors of fishing and aquaculture (FAO, 2024).
More than 90% of people living in extreme poverty depend on forests for their livelihoods, including food, medicine and income (FAO, 2024).
This study evaluates the impact of intercropping maize with native beans on the morphological growth, yield, and nutritional composition of forage intended for silage in the Peruvian Amazon. Treatments between maize monoculture and bean intercropping are compared, as well as different phenological stages (R2, R4, and R5). The results show improvements in protein, fiber, and productive parameters o...
This study evaluates the effect of different bio-ferments on the morphology and quality of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) seedlings under nursery conditions. Treatments were compared based on parameters such as height, stem diameter, number of leaves, and seedling quality. The results show significant improvements in growth when bio-ferments are applied, highlighting their potential as an agroecologic...
State support for the Peruvian agricultural sector (2019–2022) is analyzed using the OECD methodology (PSE and GSSE), quantifying subsidies, general services, and competitiveness programs, and linking them to the sector's GHG emissions. It assesses its consistency with the NDCs and the National Agricultural Policy 2021–2030, highlighting the need to reorient incentives towards climate-smart an...
This study assessed the use of coffee by-products (mucilage, pulp, and yogurt) as starter cultures in semi-wet fermentation. Significant sugar reduction and enhanced formation of desirable aromatic compounds raised the cup score from 84 (control) to 86.7, qualifying it as specialty coffee (Díaz Medina, J. A. et al., 2024).
6 tons per hectare exceeds Iniap seed varieties, compared to the national average of 4.8 tons (Redacción El Universo, 2025).
More than 60% of the energy in sugar mills comes from agricultural waste, generating surplus electricity for the grid and strengthening its sustainability (UNICA, 2023).
