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 ...
Survey of 130 goat producers in Piura (Marcavelica, Lancones, La Brea) found 56.9 % recognized climate change, perceiving impacts on temperature (69.9 %), rainfall (100 %), soil productivity (79.2 %), and water availability (50 %). Four adaptation capacity clusters emerged: excellent (6 %), good (23 %), fair (75 %), and poor (25 %) (Temoche et al., 2024).
60% of the total soybean area in Mato Grosso was under double cropping system by 2013, increasing from 10% in 2001 (Garrett et al.,2018).
The main agricultural, biotechnological, and post-harvest strategies for reducing cadmium (Cd) concentrations in the cultivation and processing of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.), one of Latin America's most representative products, are reviewed. The study, focusing on Ecuador and other countries that produce fine aroma cocoa, evaluates techniques such as microbial bioremediation, phytoremediation with...

1.6% growth in Canada's agricultural production between 2012 and 2021, below the world average of 1.9%, was explained by increased intermediate inputs and higher productivity, despite the reduction in primary factors (OECD, 2024).
2.3% was the annual growth of Argentina's agricultural production between 2012 and 2021, driven mainly by an increase in intermediate inputs (OECD, 2024).
The 2.6% annual growth in Brazil's agricultural production (2012-2021) exceeded the world average, driven by a 1.49% increase in intermediate inputs and a 1.42% increase in productivity (OECD, 2024).
0.1 % of GDP was the budget support to agriculture in 2021-23, while the Total Support Estimate (TSE) remained negative from -0.8 % in 2000-02 to -1.6 % in 2021-23 (OECD, 2024).
