70% of the livestock herd and 60% of the livestock area in Costa Rica will adopt low-emission systems with adaptation and resilience measures by 2030 (Government of Costa Rica, 2020).
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.

130,000 hectares of degraded land will have been restored by 2050 through agroforestry and silvopastoral systems, depending on the international support received (National Government of the Republic of Panama, 2020).
1,000,000 hectares of landscapes will be incorporated into restoration processes in Chile by 2030, with priority given to vulnerable areas (Sánchez Molina, 2020).
In 31 million hectares, the area dedicated to agricultural production in LAC expanded (FAOSTAT, 2013).
