Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
This study assessed crop diversity among 180 Peruvian farmers (2018–2022) using Shannon–Weiner and Margalef indices. Five crop types were identified; projections indicate growth in 15 families and decline in 9 by 2025 (Chavez et al., 2024).
The study identifies contradictions and methodological gaps in research on the Coffee Cultural Landscape, and concludes that its heritage management faces unresolved tensions between institutional discourses and territorial realities (Cruz-Rincón, D. F. , 2024).
The research analyzes ancestral practices of using natural fertilizers and biocides in Aymara agriculture in Puno, Peru. Through an ethnographic approach, it documents how peasant families use organic resources (such as plants, minerals, and human urine) to fertilize soils and control pests, thus preserving agricultural sustainability and traditional wisdom.
80% of the world's remaining biodiversity is under the custody of indigenous peoples, who are intrinsically connected to the land and nature (FAO, 2023).
1,276 hectares was the net gain in mangrove cover recorded in Guyana between 2022 and 2023. Region 6 gained 1,642 hectares, while Region 1 recorded a net loss of 805 hectares.
In the Ucayali Amazon, forest fragments (biodiversity islands) within agricultural landscapes are essential to conserve dominant species, maintain connectivity and design conservation strategies in territories already transformed by cattle ranching and monocultures. (Clavo & Vela, 2022).
This study explores the shift toward a more sustainable oil palm policy in Peru, driven by environmental pressures and tensions with Indigenous peoples. Peru's oil palm policy shifted discursively toward sustainability, albeit without formal approval or Indigenous consultation, which generated tensions in its implementation (La Rosa Salazar, M. A., 2021).
Economic losses caused by Guyana's 2005 floods were equivalent to approximately 60% of GDP, while nearly 37% of the population was affected.
