Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
The study conducts a comprehensive review of the use of predictive models to strengthen food security in Latin America, with an emphasis on Colombia. It analyzes 65 studies published between 2014 and 2024 that apply algorithms such as Random Forests and Neural Networks to anticipate agricultural yields, manage climate risks, and optimize resources. The results show that agricultural, climatic, and...
Report about Peru’s agricultural sector. Pointing out the recovery compared to the previous year was driven by a 6.4% increase in the crop farming subsector and a 1.2% increase in the livestock subsector.
More than $85 million in carbon credits have been mobilized in Costa Rica since 2021, highlighting the role of agriculture and bioenergy (Bolsa Nacional de Valores, 2023).
The study examines how droughts, floods, and temperature shifts impact agriculture in Peru and Ecuador. It reviews adaptation strategies such as climate-resilient crops, irrigation innovations, and government support. Findings show improved resilience, but highlight the need for more sustainable practices and stronger climate policies (Fernandez & Morales, 2025).
0.9 °C in 2040 and 2.4 °C by the end of the century is the projected temperature increase for Colombia, with more droughts and extreme rains (Beverinotti, J et al., 2023).
0.22 is the fraction of glaciers that Peru has lost in 30 years, being home to 71 % of the world's tropical glaciers (Cosbey and Vogt-Schilb, 2023).
51% is the emissions reduction that Colombia has committed to achieve by 2030, with a goal of carbon neutral by 2050 (Beverinotti, J et al., 2023).
Survey of 130 goat producers in Piura (Marcavelica, Lancones, La Brea) found 56.9 % recognized climate change, perceiving impacts on temperature (69.9 %), rainfall (100 %), soil productivity (79.2 %), and water availability (50 %). Four adaptation capacity clusters emerged: excellent (6 %), good (23 %), fair (75 %), and poor (25 %) (Temoche et al., 2024).
USD 93 billion cost the sub-regional Caribbean the 2017 hurricane season, including USD 13 billion for Cuba and USD 68 billion for Puerto Rico (ECLAC, 2024).
22 billion USD could reach climate change-related losses by 2050, according to projections (ECLAC, 2024).
