Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
44% of the land area of family farmers is leased in Argentina (International Land Coalition, 2021).
This exploratory research analyzes how women participate in Bolivian family farming, identifying their productive, reproductive, and decision-making roles. It examines the challenges they face in accessing resources, land, and technology, as well as the strategies they use to strengthen their autonomy. The study provides gender perspectives for designing inclusive agricultural policies.
70% of all farms in the world are less than one hectare in size, and manage only 7% of all agricultural land (Lowder. et al, 2021).
PRONAF credit increases the commercialization of family farms and is reinforced with technical assistance, while seed delivery shows no significant impact (Wesz Junior et al., 2024).
More than 1 billion people depend on livestock as a means of subsistence (Laborde, 2020).
The article reviews successful agroecological experiences in tropical livestock systems in Latin America and the Caribbean, highlighting cases in Colombia, Cuba, Haiti, Mexico, and Guadeloupe. It analyzes how integrated practices—such as adapted genetic management, nutrition with local resources, hormone-free reproductive management, and natural parasite control—improve sustainability, resilie...
The study reveals that much of the research on the Coffee Cultural Landscape is limited and fragmented, which hinders its effective management as cultural heritage and aggravates the tensions between conservation, tourism and rural reality (Cruz-Rincón, D. F., 2024).
The 7.37 kg/day represents the average dry matter intake in heifers fed cowpea hay, being 0.42 kg/day higher than those fed pangola grass hay (Corea et al., 2020).
The 900 g/day represents the average live weight gain in heifers fed cowpea hay, being 90 g/day higher than those with pangola grass hay (Corea et al., 2020).
The 151 g/kg DM represents the crude protein content in cowpea hay, being 95.5 g/kg DM higher than pangola grass hay (55.5 g/kg DM) (Corea et al., 2020).
