Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
Between 38-52% is the expected rate of biodiversity decline in Colombia after the peace agreement (Guerrero-Pineda, C. et al., 2022)
Between US$61-63 million annually should be invested to prevent further conservation losses in Colombia after the peace agreement (Guerrero-Pineda, C. et al., 2022)
The study presents a review of the use of remote sensors in agriculture, with an emphasis on their applications for banana cultivation (Musa AAA) in Costa Rica and other tropical regions. It evaluates three main areas: the delimitation of cultivated areas, the estimation of productivity, and the diagnosis of diseases. It analyzes the advantages of using satellite imagery, synthetic aperture radar ...
1 m³ of soil can store up to 600 liters of water (FAO, 2022).
The article analyzes crop association as an alternative for the development of sustainable agriculture in Latin America. Through a review of 88 studies, it shows that polyculture, agroforestry, and silvopastoral systems improve productivity, profitability, and climate resilience compared to monocultures. It highlights the benefits for soil fertility, biodiversity conservation, and climate change m...
888 Tg of carbon is the sequestration potential in the Americas, equivalent to between 529 and 1,247 Tg of carbon at a depth of 0 to 0.60 m for 20 years (IICA, 2021).
24 Mha of additional forest per year, until 2030, could store a quarter of the atmospheric CO₂ needed to limit global warming to 1.5 °C (IICA, 2021).
4.7 million hectares per year represents the global net loss of forest area from 2010 to 2020, a reduction from 7.8 million hectares annually in the 1990s (Larrea et al., 2021).
2.6 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide are absorbed by forests every year, making them critical for climate change mitigation (Larrea et al., 2021).
80% of terrestrial biodiversity is home to forests according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (Larrea et al., 2021).
