Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
The IDB, CAF and the CDB launched a debt swap initiative at COP30 to strengthen resilience in the Caribbean without increasing public debt (CAF, 2025).
At COP30, CAF and Oxford launched an international challenge to promote nature-inspired technological solutions to the region's sustainability challenges (CAF, 2025).
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
20.29 °C was the global average temperature recorded in 2024, with an anomaly of +1.18 °C (SENAMHI, 2024). This thermal increase is reflected in Peru through a higher frequency and intensity of droughts, floods, heat waves, cold spells, and landslides, affecting ecosystems, infrastructure, and productive sectors.
2.9% per year was the growth of agricultural output in LAC since 1961, driven by a 1.7% annual TFP (Total factor productivity) increase (IBD, 2025).
30% declines in sustainable productivity in Latin America and the Caribbean when environmental costs are included, lowering total factor productivity (TFP) to 0.14% per year. (IDB, 2025).
0.9% was the growth of agricultural Total Factor Productivity (TFP) in Latin America and the Caribbean between 2011 and 2020, signaling a marked slowdown in productivity (IBD, 2025).
The global proportion of men and women working in agri-food systems fell by almost 10 percentage points between 2005 and 2019 (FAO, 2024).
Women spend an average of 4.2 hours a day on unpaid domestic and care work (FAO, 2024).
6.9% of households without a water source have girls as the main people responsible for water collection (FAO, 2024).
