Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
21% of the world's inland wetlands has been lost since 1700, representing approximately 3.4 million km².
3 billion additional people could be exposed to water stress by 2050 when water quality is incorporated into water scarcity assessments.
USD 1.1 billion in estimated economic losses were recorded for California's agricultural sector during the 2021 drought.
21% is the average reduction in wheat yields caused by mild drought conditions; rice yields decrease by 17% on average.
4.3% was the average reduction in global annual rice yields between 1980 and 2015 due to flooding; losses reached 14% along China's eastern coast.
10% of global agricultural land is affected by waterlogging or severe drainage constraints, reducing crop growth and agricultural productivity.
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...
This study examined the relationship between air and sea surface temperatures, Peruvian organic agro-exports (2000–2022), and food security. It found that higher organic agro-exports reduce undernourishment globally and enhance access to healthy diets despite climate change (Coayla & Bedon, 2024).
$26,606 is Panama's per capita GDP, the highest in Latin America, with Costa Rica fourth ($19,778) and the Dominican Republic seventh ($16,768), at least double that of other Central American countries (Campos et al., 2024).
