Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
18 peer-reviewed articles were identified as conceptual frameworks for food systems and nutrition, evidencing the need for multisectoral approaches that include agriculture, health, education, water, sanitation and social protection (Duncan et al., 2022).
750 million people represent the global population exposed to severe levels of food insecurity, with this statistic trending upwards (Duncan et al., 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).
80.6 million tons of food goes unsold or uneaten after being grown, processed, transported or stored, representing 40% of all food produced in the U.S. (ReFED, 2021).
60% was the reduction in the proportion of undernourished people in Latin America and the Caribbean between 1990 and 2014, thanks to the contribution of the agricultural sector to food security (FAO, 2021).
This exploratory research analyzes how women participate in Bolivian family farming, identifying their productive, reproductive, and decision-making roles. It examines the challenges they face in accessing resources, land, and technology, as well as the strategies they use to strengthen their autonomy. The study provides gender perspectives for designing inclusive agricultural policies.
Up to US$75 billion is expended annually, mostly by governments, in providing school feeding to no less than 368 million children daily on average (WFP, 2021)
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.
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).
Five coffee varieties, were assessed for 13 morphological traits and rust resistance. Colombia, Catimor, and Limani were highly resistant; Caturra was the most susceptible (Cosme-De La Cruz et al., 2020).
