Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
50% of deforestation in the Peruvian Amazon occurs on forest lands where the removal of tree cover is prohibited, showing that forest loss is concentrated in legally restricted areas. This situation reflects pressures associated with land-use change driven by activities such as shifting agriculture, cattle ranching, illegal and informal mining, and illicit crop cultivation, all of which significan...
1000 personalized technical assistance interventions were carried out by INIA specialists to improve goat management, nutrition, and health practices in rural areas of Peru, strengthening productive capacities and the performance of the caprine production system (INIA, 2025).
68% of Peru’s 2 million goats are concentrated in the northern coast, south-central zone, and Andean region, areas where precipitation ranges from 0–500 mm per year in arid and semi-arid zones, to elevations above 3,000 m a.s.l. with greater water availability, reflecting contrasts in forage supply and productive potential (INIA, 2025).
1,250 hectares are under management or recovery processes in Amazonian ecosystems of Peru, integrating ecological restoration actions and sustainable forest management practices documented across various experiences in the country (SERFOR, 2018).
500 hectares were restored in andean areas of Peru, reflecting the progress made in the recovery of high-Andean ecosystems and the implementation of sustainable management practices documented across multiple restoration experiences (SERFOR, 2018).
3,000 hectares were rehabilitated through agroforestry systems in various regions of Peru, combining forest species and crops to restore degraded soils and strengthen the livelihoods of local communities, according to documented experiences (SERFOR, 2018).
7% of forest cover was lost between 1990 and 2020 in Latin America and the Caribbean, equivalent to 138 million hectares, highlighting the scale of landscape degradation in the region and the urgency of advancing large-scale restoration and conservation efforts (World Resources Institute, 2024).
23% of the world’s forests and 60% of global biodiversity are located in Latin America and the Caribbean, highlighting the region’s strategic importance for ecosystem and biodiversity conservation. This significant share also reflects the critical role of LAC in providing essential ecosystem services and in supporting global efforts to address environmental degradation and climate change (Worl...
58% of greenhouse gas emissions in Latin America and the Caribbean originate from land use, land-use change, and the forestry sector, highlighting the significant weight of these activities in the region’s climate dynamics and the urgent need to strengthen mitigation efforts (World Resources Institute, 2024).
