Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
540 billion dollars are spent annually on producer support, two-thirds of which distort prices and damage the environment (FAO, UNDP and UNEP, 2021).
50,857.5 Kton CO₂e El Salvador seeks to reduce in its AFOLU sector between 2035 and 2040, conditional on financing (Government of El Salvador, 2021).
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).
2.6 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide are absorbed by forests every year, making them critical for climate change mitigation (Larrea et al., 2021).
200,000 hectares will be forested in Chile by 2030, with at least 100,000 hectares of permanent cover and 70,000 hectares of native species (Government of Chile, 2021).
5,647 KtCO2e is the total emissions reduction Belize expects to achieve across all sectors between 2021 and 2030, according to its updated NDC in 2021 (Belize, 2021).
PRONAF credit increases the commercialization of family farms and is reinforced with technical assistance, while seed delivery shows no significant impact (Wesz Junior et al., 2024).
9.11 MtCO₂e will be Costa Rica's absolute net emissions limit in 2030, covering all sectors (Government of Costa Rica, 2020).
106.53 MtCO₂e will be Costa Rica's maximum net emissions budget between 2021 and 2030 (Government of Costa Rica, 2020).
The article reviews successful agroecological experiences in tropical livestock systems in Latin America and the Caribbean, highlighting cases in Colombia, Cuba, Haiti, Mexico, and Guadeloupe. It analyzes how integrated practices—such as adapted genetic management, nutrition with local resources, hormone-free reproductive management, and natural parasite control—improve sustainability, resilie...
