A 25% annual reduction in GHG emissions could be achieved globally with sustainable production models (CAF, 2025).
More than 50% of GHG emissions come from the agricultural and livestock sector (CAF, 2025).
25% of global CO2 emissions correspond to the subsector of high energy consumption industries (CAF, 2023).
70% of industrial emissions come from energy-intensive industries (CAF, 2023).
The industrial sector generates 9 Gt/year of CO2 globally (CAF, 2023).
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...
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 ...
The article analyzes how Colombia is leveraging its microbial biodiversity to develop biofertilizers, examining scientific advances, market trends, and regulatory challenges facing the country in its efforts to promote more sustainable and competitive agriculture.
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...
2.6 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide are absorbed by forests every year, making them critical for climate change mitigation (Larrea et al., 2021).
