Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
45% of current global emissions should be reduced to reach 1.5°C of global warming (UNEP, 2022).
22% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from agribusiness, the second largest contributor worldwide (OECD, 2022).
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, ...
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).
The study presents a review of the use of remote sensors in agriculture, with an emphasis on their applications for banana cultivation (Musa AAA) in Costa Rica and other tropical regions. It evaluates three main areas: the delimitation of cultivated areas, the estimation of productivity, and the diagnosis of diseases. It analyzes the advantages of using satellite imagery, synthetic aperture radar ...
The article analyzes crop association as an alternative for the development of sustainable agriculture in Latin America. Through a review of 88 studies, it shows that polyculture, agroforestry, and silvopastoral systems improve productivity, profitability, and climate resilience compared to monocultures. It highlights the benefits for soil fertility, biodiversity conservation, and climate change m...
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).
