Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
Treated farmers reported an average 18 % increase in net agricultural income compared to the control group, based on IPW estimates.
19 % of the formal workforce in agriculture in Latin America and the Caribbean are women, although they remain underrepresented in the sector (OECD, 2018).
38-52% would be the national biodiversity loss in Colombia by 2033 if agricultural expansion is not controlled (Guerrero-Pineda, C. et al., 2022)
1 m³ of soil can store up to 600 liters of water (FAO, 2022).
Nutritional outcomes and agriculture are linked in six important ways: as a source of food, as a source of income, through food prices, women's empowerment, women's time use, and women's health and nutritional status (Duncan et al., 2022).
Current frameworks used to guide nutrition interventions are designed from a health sector paradigm, leaving agricultural aspects not sufficiently leveraged (Duncan et al., 2022).
540 billion dollars are spent annually on producer support, two-thirds of which distort prices and damage the environment (FAO, UNDP and UNEP, 2021).
108,000 active cooperatives were registered in LAC in 2019, of which 29,000 (26.6%) belong to the agricultural sector, with 6.6 million members.
46% of greenhouse gases in the region come from agricultural production, which also contributes significantly to biodiversity loss.
43% represented the average annual growth of new organic producers registered in Bahia between 2015 and 2017 (Sanchez et al., 2021).
