Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
In montane forests in Bolivia, the installation of bird perches and bat shelters increased seed rain and seedling density by up to 3-5 times compared to degraded areas dominated by ferns.
GuyMIS reports 21,354 hectares of mangrove extent in Guyana in 2020, including 12,142 hectares of losses and 4,845 hectares of gains between 2015 and 2020. The system also records 32 restoration projects implemented between 2010 and 2020, including 19 seedling plantations and 13 green-grey infrastructure projects.
The research analyzes ancestral practices of using natural fertilizers and biocides in Aymara agriculture in Puno, Peru. Through an ethnographic approach, it documents how peasant families use organic resources (such as plants, minerals, and human urine) to fertilize soils and control pests, thus preserving agricultural sustainability and traditional wisdom.
1,276 hectares was the net gain in mangrove cover recorded in Guyana between 2022 and 2023. Region 6 gained 1,642 hectares, while Region 1 recorded a net loss of 805 hectares.
1,792 Tg of carbon is the potential for soil sequestration through pasture recovery in the Americas, with a range of 717 to 2,868 Tg in the top 0.3 m layer (IICA, 2021).
888 Tg of carbon is the sequestration potential in the Americas, equivalent to between 529 and 1,247 Tg of carbon at a depth of 0 to 0.60 m for 20 years (IICA, 2021).
100% of the analyzed VSS include prohibitions on converting areas with high biodiversity, conservation value or carbon storage with specific cut-off dates (Larrea et al., 2021).
5 years is the period prior to certification that the Organic standard requires farmers to show they have not converted valuable natural environments to agricultural land (Larrea et al., 2021).
2005 is the cut-off date established by RSPO for not certifying operations that have converted areas with high biodiversity conservation value after this date (Larrea et al., 2021).
200,000 hectares will be forested in Chile by 2030, with at least 100,000 hectares of permanent cover and 70,000 hectares of native species (Government of Chile, 2021).
