Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
In the Mariño basin, agroecological practices enhance food self-sufficiency, family income, and create synergies between productivity, climate adaptation, and mitigation (Quispe et al., 2021).
The study examines how agroecology supports food security and climate change mitigation in Peru. It highlights its role in strengthening family farming, conserving biodiversity, and reducing emissions (Glave & Escobedo, 2022).
325,000 families constitute the objective of PAF-Food Security, for whom the program has been written in plots, yards and homes (Martín Manzano, 2012).
9% represents the undernourishment rate in El Salvador according to data provided by FAO (Martín Manzano, 2012).
Building towards the goal of zero hunger, the food and agriculture sector must be considered when designing nutritional interventions (Duncan et al., 2022).
Nutritional outcomes and agriculture are linked in six important ways: as a source of food, as a source of income, through food prices, women's empowerment, women's time use, and women's health and nutritional status (Duncan et al., 2022).
The problem of malnutrition is multi-faceted and requires action through a multisectoral approach that includes healthcare, education, water and sanitation, social protection, and food and agriculture (Duncan et al., 2022).
Approximately 750 million people globally are exposed to severe levels of food insecurity and this statistic is trending upwards (Duncan et al., 2022).
75% of all biofortified harvested roots were consumed on-farm in 2015, according to HarvestPlus estimates (Bouis & Saltzman, 2017).
1 billion people seeks to reach HarvestPlus with biofortification by the year 2030 (Bouis & Saltzman, 2017).
