Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
80% of terrestrial biodiversity is home to forests according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (Larrea et al., 2021).
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...
50,000 hectares are committed to restoring Panama, which will increase CO2eq absorption by 2.6 million tons annually by 2050, 10% more than the 1994-2017 average (National Government of the Republic of Panama, 2020).
65.40% of Panama's territory is covered by 4.93 million hectares of forest, placing it among the countries with the highest forest cover (Government of Panama, 2020).
57% of primary forests and 1/3 of plant species are found in LAC (World Bank, 2020).
312.1 t/ha was the mean soil carbon stock under agroforestry, the highest among the land uses assessed in Tula-Jana, Doyogena, Ethiopia.
229.4 t/ha was the soil carbon stock in cropland under CSA practices, the second-highest value among the land uses assessed.
229.4 t/ha was the soil carbon stock observed after ten years of CSA practices in cropland, with values higher than business-as-usual management.
7 of the world's 25 most critical places with high concentrations of endemic species are in LAC and are experiencing habitat loss (Jarvis et al. 2011).
100% of shaded coffee fields provide connectivity within degraded and fragmented forests, facilitating movement and maintenance of key wildlife populations (Bosselmann, 2008).
