Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
In the Ucayali Amazon, forest fragments (biodiversity islands) within agricultural landscapes are essential to conserve dominant species, maintain connectivity and design conservation strategies in territories already transformed by cattle ranching and monocultures. (Clavo & Vela, 2022).
Peru's Andean livestock system is highly heterogeneous structurally, with a predominance of small producers, low productivity and limited access to technical services, which requires differentiated policies by type of producer (Quispe et al., 2022).
Transitions to silvopastoral systems increase resilience, productive stability and ecosystem services in degraded soils, but reduce biodiversity by replacing native ecosystems (Picasso and Pizarro, 2024).
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).
