Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
7% of forest cover was lost between 1990 and 2020 in Latin America and the Caribbean, equivalent to 138 million hectares, highlighting the scale of landscape degradation in the region and the urgency of advancing large-scale restoration and conservation efforts (World Resources Institute, 2024).
500 hectares were restored in andean areas of Peru, reflecting the progress made in the recovery of high-Andean ecosystems and the implementation of sustainable management practices documented across multiple restoration experiences (SERFOR, 2018).
3,000 hectares were rehabilitated through agroforestry systems in various regions of Peru, combining forest species and crops to restore degraded soils and strengthen the livelihoods of local communities, according to documented experiences (SERFOR, 2018).
The study assessed how precision technologies—such as sensors, GIS, and drones—relate to agricultural input management in the San Martín region of Peru. Based on surveys of 120 producers, it found that productivity and sustainability positively influence efficient input management, while costs, limited infrastructure, and resistance to change are the main barriers to their adoption
The study compares three sowing methods (furrows, continuous seeding, and broadcasting) of the Cuba OM-22 hybrid grass in the dry tropics of Peru, evaluating biomass, initial establishment, survival, and forage nutritional composition. The results show significant differences in yield and nutritional quality depending on the method applied, providing useful evidence for improving forage practices ...
This study evaluates the effect of a liquid biofertilizer made from cocoa husks on the growth and chlorophyll content of sweet pepper plants (Capsicum chinense) in San Martín, Peru. The results show significant increases in height, stem diameter, and chlorophyll content, especially with doses of 1250–3000 mL, demonstrating its potential as a sustainable input to improve the physiological perfor...
This study phenotypically characterizes 74 wild accessions of Myrciaria dubia (camu camu) from the INIA ex situ germplasm bank to identify variability relevant for genetic improvement, conservation, and sustainable use programs. Morphological, physical, and fruit quality characteristics were evaluated, revealing a wide diversity that can be used to select genotypes with higher yield and quality Im...
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).
A pesar de las dificultades, el sector lácteo aún tiene un peso socioeconómico considerable. Según estimaciones de MIDA, la cadena lechera (producción primaria + industria + comercialización) genera alrededor de 270,000 empleos directos e indirectos en el país. (ES)
Between 80% and 90% of forest-related businesses in the majority of developing countries are small and locally operated, with small-scale enterprises accounting for over half of all employment in the forest sector (Sarmiento, 2025).
