Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Ethiopia and Indonesia face an average of 144 days a year with heat that is harmful to coffee, almost four months under heat stress (El País, 2026).
75% of the world's coffee is produced by just five countries: Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Ethiopia and Indonesia (El País, 2026).
80% of the productivity gap between LAC and the US is explained by differences in TFP (OECD, 2024).
26.8% of the population of LAC was in poverty in 2024 (OECD, 2024).
40% of OECD productivity was represented by LAC in 1990 (OECD, 2024).

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...
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).
Over the past 50 years, the world’s food systems have changed dramatically.

The 2025 Global Food Policy Report examines the evolution and impact of food policy research and assesses how ...
