The study conducts a comprehensive review of the use of predictive models to strengthen food security in Latin America, with an emphasis on Colombia. It analyzes 65 studies published between 2014 and 2024 that apply algorithms such as Random Forests and Neural Networks to anticipate agricultural yields, manage climate risks, and optimize resources. The results show that agricultural, climatic, and...
The study analyzes advances and trends in the use of artisanal biopreparations in Latin American agriculture, made with natural ingredients and native microorganisms as an alternative to conventional agrochemicals. Through a bibliometric analysis, it identifies the leading countries in research (Brazil, Cuba, Colombia, and Mexico), the main types of biopreparations, such as Bokashi, and the crops ...
The article analyzes how Colombia is leveraging its microbial biodiversity to develop biofertilizers, examining scientific advances, market trends, and regulatory challenges facing the country in its efforts to promote more sustainable and competitive agriculture.
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...
In montane forests in Bolivia, the installation of bird perches and bat shelters increased seed rain and seedling density by up to 3-5 times compared to degraded areas dominated by ferns.
18 peer-reviewed articles were identified as conceptual frameworks for food systems and nutrition, evidencing the need for multisectoral approaches that include agriculture, health, education, water, sanitation and social protection (Duncan et al., 2022).
Building towards the goal of zero hunger, the food and agriculture sector must be considered when designing nutritional interventions (Duncan et al., 2022).
