Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
The relationship between agriculture, food security, and food sovereignty is investigated, highlighting the role of public policies in guaranteeing the right to adequate and sustainable food. Based on an analysis of academic sources and international organizations, it addresses the main challenges facing agriculture in Colombia and Latin America, such as land concentration, dependence on imports, ...
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).
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).
Nutritional outcomes and agriculture are linked in six important ways: as a source of food, as a source of income, through food prices, women's empowerment, women's time use, and women's health and nutritional status (Duncan et al., 2022).
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.
