Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
2% of agricultural GDP should be the minimum allocated to spending on science, technology, and innovation (STI) in the Americas. (CEPAL, FAO y IICA, 2023).
More than 450 ventures in LAC were agtechs during 2019. (Vitón et al. 2019)
14% and 12% of the income of the first quintile in Latin America and the Caribbean can be allocated to mobile and fixed broadband, respectively, reflecting a high average cost of the service (ECLAC, 2023).
40% of agricultural researchers in Latin America were between 50 and 60 years old in 2012/13.
The agrifood supply chain of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) stands out for its resilience to the COVID-19 pandemic, and multiple studies have been conducted to analyze the differential impacts of the pandemic across firms and sectors. Less is known regarding the strategies implemented for business continuity during this catastrophic shock. The purpose of this study was to analyze the respon...
Study conducted by the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences (Cuba) between 2020 and 2022, with support from Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC). It evaluates the effect of applying agroecological practices on three farms in the municipality of Jaruco, Mayabeque province, which are transitioning to sustainable systems. Through interviews and participant observation, the impact of the use of ...
0.006 was the average DID effect on mean NDVI for citrus, indicating productivity improvement.
The combined strategy of using surveys and satellite images allows for measuring mechanisms (adoption, credit) and returns, offering consistent evidence.
The monthly NDVI signal shows greater variation in annual crops such as cotton and greater stability in perennial crops such as citrus.
Annual NDVI (average and maximum) is used to observe pre- and post-intervention trends for treated and control units. The longitudinal approach captures the "before and after" dynamics of the program.
