Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
45% of current global emissions should be reduced to reach 1.5°C of global warming (UNEP, 2022).
The study examines the options available to Latin America and the Caribbean for reducing emissions from the agricultural sector and land use change, with the aim of achieving the goal of net-zero emissions. It analyzes mitigation scenarios, sustainable technologies, and public policies needed to reconcile agricultural production with environmental conservation, highlighting the role of low-carbon ...
75% of greenhouse gas emissions come from cities, which also account for 70% of global energy consumption and 75% of natural resource consumption (GGGI, 2022).
22% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from agribusiness, the second largest contributor worldwide (OECD, 2022).
The relationship between agriculture, food security, and food sovereignty is investigated, highlighting the role of public policies in guaranteeing the right to adequate and sustainable food. Based on an analysis of academic sources and international organizations, it addresses the main challenges facing agriculture in Colombia and Latin America, such as land concentration, dependence on imports, ...
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).
38-52% would be the national biodiversity loss in Colombia by 2033 if agricultural expansion is not controlled (Guerrero-Pineda, C. et al., 2022)
In 44% the rate of deforestation increased after the peace agreement, especially affecting protected areas (Guerrero-Pineda, C. et al., 2022).
Between 38-52% is the expected rate of biodiversity decline in Colombia after the peace agreement (Guerrero-Pineda, C. et al., 2022)
