Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
The study assesses the impact of converting Amazonian forests to agricultural land in the Peruvian Amazon, analyzing how this transition affects soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, and available potassium. The results show a significant decrease in these essential components, reaching critical levels that compromise fertility, agricultural productivity, and ecological sustainability (Solórzano e...
This study evaluates the impact of intercropping maize with native beans on the morphological growth, yield, and nutritional composition of forage intended for silage in the Peruvian Amazon. Treatments between maize monoculture and bean intercropping are compared, as well as different phenological stages (R2, R4, and R5). The results show improvements in protein, fiber, and productive parameters o...
More than 90% of people living in extreme poverty depend on forests for their livelihoods, including food, medicine and income (FAO, 2024).
The study examines the options available to Latin America and the Caribbean for reducing emissions from the agricultural sector and land use change, with the aim of achieving the goal of net-zero emissions. It analyzes mitigation scenarios, sustainable technologies, and public policies needed to reconcile agricultural production with environmental conservation, highlighting the role of low-carbon ...
In montane forests in Bolivia, the installation of bird perches and bat shelters increased seed rain and seedling density by up to 3-5 times compared to degraded areas dominated by ferns.
89% of the analyzed VSS (8 out of 9) require producers to restore natural areas, excluding only Fairtrade which has it as recommended (Larrea et al., 2021).
100% of certified cocoa farmers in West Africa must provide their specific GPS coordinates to enable close monitoring via satellite technology according to Rainforest Alliance (Larrea et al., 2021).
1.6 billion people rely on forests for their livelihoods according to FAO (Larrea et al., 2021).
4.7 million hectares per year represents the global net loss of forest area from 2010 to 2020, a reduction from 7.8 million hectares annually in the 1990s (Larrea et al., 2021).
4 hectares represents the minimum plot size (excluding cattle production) from which geolocation must be provided using polygons with enough latitude and longitude points to outline the perimeter of the land (Sarmiento, 2025).
