Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
USD 100 million was issued by CAF in the first resilience bond for Latin America and the Caribbean, with support from UNDRR (CAF, 2025).
CAF will allocate USD 40 billion over the next five years to boost green growth (CAF, 2025).
The study assessed how precision technologies—such as sensors, GIS, and drones—relate to agricultural input management in the San Martín region of Peru. Based on surveys of 120 producers, it found that productivity and sustainability positively influence efficient input management, while costs, limited infrastructure, and resistance to change are the main barriers to their adoption
30% declines in sustainable productivity in Latin America and the Caribbean when environmental costs are included, lowering total factor productivity (TFP) to 0.14% per year. (IDB, 2025).
0.9% was the growth of agricultural Total Factor Productivity (TFP) in Latin America and the Caribbean between 2011 and 2020, signaling a marked slowdown in productivity (IBD, 2025).
20.29 °C was the global average temperature recorded in 2024, with an anomaly of +1.18 °C (SENAMHI, 2024). This thermal increase is reflected in Peru through a higher frequency and intensity of droughts, floods, heat waves, cold spells, and landslides, affecting ecosystems, infrastructure, and productive sectors.
2.9% per year was the growth of agricultural output in LAC since 1961, driven by a 1.7% annual TFP (Total factor productivity) increase (IBD, 2025).
36% of women workers worldwide were employed in agri-food systems in 2019 (FAO, 2024).
50% of the world's population is made up of women, but they continue to be systematically disadvantaged in various dimensions of well-being and livelihoods (FAO, 2024).
The global proportion of men and women working in agri-food systems fell by almost 10 percentage points between 2005 and 2019 (FAO, 2024).
