Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
Climate change threatens subsistence agriculture by reducing productivity and increasing food insecurity, especially in vulnerable rural communities, requiring differentiated policies and local adaptation strategies (Córdova, 2021).
19 % of the formal workforce in agriculture in Latin America and the Caribbean are women, although they remain underrepresented in the sector (OECD, 2018).
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).
In the Mariño basin, agroecological practices enhance food self-sufficiency, family income, and create synergies between productivity, climate adaptation, and mitigation (Quispe et al., 2021).
5.7 million field jobs are generated in Peru from the production of the main Andean grains, including quinoa, cañihua, kiwicha or amaranth and chocho or tarhui.
127 thousand tons of Andean grains were produced in Peru in 2020, supporting the income of 125 thousand families.
Systematic review compiling existing research on the effects of climate change on Andean agriculture. It analyzes climate variables (temperature, precipitation, evapotranspiration), induced phenomena (soil erosion, glacier retreat, alterations in crops such as potatoes, quinoa, corn), and the vulnerability of small-scale farmers in the high Andes.
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).
208.8 MtCO2eq is the net greenhouse gas emissions target for Peru in 2030, without being conditioned on international financing (Government of Peru, 2020).
179.0 MtCO2eq is the conditional emissions target for Peru, subject to external financing and favorable conditions (Government of Peru, 2020).
