Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
Minus 0.44 is the regression coefficient showing a negative relationship between increased agriculture and SDG 11 scores in Latin America and the Caribbean (de Araújo Ramos et al., 2023).
50% more food production will be needed by 2050 due to population growth, dietary changes and increased use of biofuels (FAO, 2022).
The study examines the options available to Latin America and the Caribbean for reducing emissions from the agricultural sector and land use change, with the aim of achieving the goal of net-zero emissions. It analyzes mitigation scenarios, sustainable technologies, and public policies needed to reconcile agricultural production with environmental conservation, highlighting the role of low-carbon ...
Smart subsidies should be framed within longer-term strategies for systematic and sustainable production improvements, beyond one-off inputs.
US$ 41 million is the total program cost, partially financed by the IDB.
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 conducts a systematic review of the methods applied in prospective studies for strategic planning of agri-food chains in Latin America and the Caribbean between 2010 and 2021. It examines the most widely used methodologies (such as MACTOR, MICMAC, and Delphi), their contributions to decision-making, and the challenges that remain in institutionalizing regional foresight. It also highligh...
Approximately 750 million people globally are exposed to severe levels of food insecurity and this statistic is trending upwards (Duncan et al., 2022).
Current frameworks used to guide nutrition interventions are designed from a health sector paradigm, leaving agricultural aspects not sufficiently leveraged (Duncan et al., 2022).
12 key components and 35 sub-components represent the identified elements of the agri-food sector that can serve as intervention points to improve nutritional outcomes (Duncan et al., 2022).
