Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
12 additional months represents the transition period introduced by the European Union in December 2024, requiring compliance by December 30, 2025, for large and medium-sized companies and by June 30, 2026, for micro and small enterprises (Sarmiento, 2025).
10 strategic projects have been developed by CAF in its portfolio to facilitate technology transfer and investments in agricultural innovation in several Latin American countries, seeking to materialize emerging technologies in the regional field (Velásquez, A., 2025).
50 million dollars annually at minimum are necessary to adequately finance the digital transformation of the agricultural sector in each Latin American country, according to estimates included in CAF's agricultural prosperity strategy (Velásquez, A., 2025).
35% could increase the contribution of the agricultural sector to the Latin American bioeconomy through the implementation of emerging technologies and circular approaches throughout the production chain, according to prospective analysis included in CAF's strategy (Velásquez, A., 2025).
22 billion dollars is estimated as the potential annual economic value of traditional agricultural knowledge of Latin America applied to bioeconomy and sustainable development, including domestication techniques, cultivation, and use of native species (Velásquez, A., 2025).
The study examines how droughts, floods, and temperature shifts impact agriculture in Peru and Ecuador. It reviews adaptation strategies such as climate-resilient crops, irrigation innovations, and government support. Findings show improved resilience, but highlight the need for more sustainable practices and stronger climate policies (Fernandez & Morales, 2025).
In Peru’s Upper Huallaga basin, 73 structured farmer interviews were integrated with local station and ERA-5 data. A temperature rise of +0.2 °C per decade matched farmers’ perceptions. Increased crop water deficit and surplus volumes suggest more intense sub-daily convective rainfall, helping explain perceived changes in precipitation and wind (Serrano et al., 2025).
6.4 % of total agri-food system emissions come from fertilizer production and use (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
More than 3.1 billion people could not afford a healthy diet in 2023, according to the SOFI report.
28% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Argentina come from the agricultural sector (OECD, 2024).
