Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
90% of ethanol production and use in the region comes from Brazil, which also accounts for 71% of production and 79% of biodiesel use (OECD and FAO, 2024).
In 40 countries, Rizobacter produces inoculants, seed therapeutants, adjuvants and fertilizers, which reach a wide range of growers globally (ISPA. 2023).
Legal frameworks for crop gene editing have been developed in Latin America, considering institutional drivers and policy frameworks. Regulatory gaps are identified, and an approach to strengthening biotechnology governance is proposed (Zarate & Ramírez, 2023).
20% is Colombia's self-sufficiency rate in primary fertilizers (Corficolombiana, 2022).
In dairy products, input and labor costs decreased (with methodological caution). US$ 33,854 (inputs) and US$ 11,507 (labor).
The study examines how agroecology supports food security and climate change mitigation in Peru. It highlights its role in strengthening family farming, conserving biodiversity, and reducing emissions (Glave & Escobedo, 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).
Harvest moisture affects rice milling quality, particularly whole grain yield and appearance. Levels between 20 % and 22 % are recommended to optimize industrial outcomes. (Álvarez-Parra et al., 2020).
5.7 million hectares of eucalyptus has Brazil for timber, energy and construction production (Da Silva R. F. F. B. et al., 2019).
In two climate-vulnerable regions of Guatemala, 95 % of farmers perceive climate change; 81 % report production impacts, but only 41 % have adapted—mainly via tree planting (Viguera et al., 2019).
