32% of farmers in Bolivia use irrigation, but it only covers 7% of the planted area (Castilleja et al., 2023).
14% of agricultural production comes from LAC, which is the largest net exporter of food in the world (FAO and UNDP, 2025).
One in three people in the world, or more than 2.2 billion, still lack access to safe drinking wáter (WRI, 2025).

130,000 hectares of degraded land will have been restored by 2050 through agroforestry and silvopastoral systems, depending on the international support received (National Government of the Republic of Panama, 2020).

1,000,000 hectares of landscapes will be incorporated into restoration processes in Chile by 2030, with priority given to vulnerable areas (Sánchez Molina, 2020).
Between -11% and -14% could reduce maize, bean and rice yields by 2030, and between -19% and -24% by 2050 due to climate change, impacting food security and the rural poor (IDB, 2018).
Mexico reached 32.1 million hectares for agricultural use (INEGI, 2022).
