Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
Smart subsidies combine co-financing and technical assistance. PRODAF’s smart subsidies combined non-reimbursable contributions with technical assistance to foster efficient and environmentally sustainable technology adoption.
The program defined specific technological menus for cotton, livestock, dairy and citrus, aligned with gaps and good practices.
Citrus productivity gains arise from systemic changes (e.g., irrigation, GAP) that materialize over time.
NDVI-based remote sensing is a valuable, cost-effective proxy for yield to assess temporal dynamics of impacts.
0.006 was the average DID effect on mean NDVI for citrus, indicating productivity improvement.
56 % of beneficiaries reported adopting at least one new agricultural practice or technology after receiving the smart subsidy and technical assistance.
The study presents a review of the use of remote sensors in agriculture, with an emphasis on their applications for banana cultivation (Musa AAA) in Costa Rica and other tropical regions. It evaluates three main areas: the delimitation of cultivated areas, the estimation of productivity, and the diagnosis of diseases. It analyzes the advantages of using satellite imagery, synthetic aperture radar ...
The article analyzes crop association as an alternative for the development of sustainable agriculture in Latin America. Through a review of 88 studies, it shows that polyculture, agroforestry, and silvopastoral systems improve productivity, profitability, and climate resilience compared to monocultures. It highlights the benefits for soil fertility, biodiversity conservation, and climate change m...
540 billion dollars are spent annually on producer support, two-thirds of which distort prices and damage the environment (FAO, UNDP and UNEP, 2021).
43% represented the average annual growth of new organic producers registered in Bahia between 2015 and 2017 (Sanchez et al., 2021).
