Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
The monthly NDVI signal shows greater variation in annual crops such as cotton and greater stability in perennial crops such as citrus.
Annual NDVI (average and maximum) is used to observe pre- and post-intervention trends for treated and control units. The longitudinal approach captures the "before and after" dynamics of the program.
262 (cotton) and 190 (citrus) plots were georeferenced to build NDVI series.
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).
The study reveals that much of the research on the Coffee Cultural Landscape is limited and fragmented, which hinders its effective management as cultural heritage and aggravates the tensions between conservation, tourism and rural reality (Cruz-Rincón, D. F., 2024).
77th place is occupied by the Dominican Republic globally in the Social Progress Index, being the thirteenth highest-ranked country in Latin America and the fourth in the immediate region of Central America and the Caribbean (Campos et al., 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).
39 out of 141 municipalities in Mato Grosso (Brazil) maintained livestock activity during the study period (Garrett et al., 2018).
