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...
State support for the Peruvian agricultural sector (2019–2022) is analyzed using the OECD methodology (PSE and GSSE), quantifying subsidies, general services, and competitiveness programs, and linking them to the sector's GHG emissions. It assesses its consistency with the NDCs and the National Agricultural Policy 2021–2030, highlighting the need to reorient incentives towards climate-smart an...
25% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from the agricultural sector, creating pressure to adopt sustainable practices and regulations that govern production and international trade according to sustainability standards (Velásquez, A., 2025).
6.4 % of total agri-food system emissions come from fertilizer production and use (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
28% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Argentina come from the agricultural sector (OECD, 2024).
