Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
Half of the world's population lives in households dependent on agrifood systems (FAO, 2023).
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).
Climate change threatens subsistence agriculture by reducing productivity and increasing food insecurity, especially in vulnerable rural communities, requiring differentiated policies and local adaptation strategies (Córdova, 2021).
750 million people represent the global population exposed to severe levels of food insecurity, with this statistic trending upwards (Duncan et al., 2022).
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).
Between -11% and -14% could reduce maize, bean and rice yields by 2030, and between -19% and -24% by 2050 due to climate change, impacting food security and the rural poor (IDB, 2018).
Between June 2010 and May 2011, international maize and wheat prices roughly doubled; food prices peaked in February 2011.
300,000 to 500,000 metric tons of basic grains are proposed as a humanitarian emergency reserve, about 5% of food aid flows of 6.7 million wheat-equivalent tons.
50,000 participating families is the goal to increase their availability and diversity of food in 2014 according to PAF indicators (Martín Manzano, 2012).
