Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
The study examines how droughts, floods, and temperature shifts impact agriculture in Peru and Ecuador. It reviews adaptation strategies such as climate-resilient crops, irrigation innovations, and government support. Findings show improved resilience, but highlight the need for more sustainable practices and stronger climate policies (Fernandez & Morales, 2025).
In Peru’s Upper Huallaga basin, 73 structured farmer interviews were integrated with local station and ERA-5 data. A temperature rise of +0.2 °C per decade matched farmers’ perceptions. Increased crop water deficit and surplus volumes suggest more intense sub-daily convective rainfall, helping explain perceived changes in precipitation and wind (Serrano et al., 2025).
0.22 is the fraction of glaciers that Peru has lost in 30 years, being home to 71 % of the world's tropical glaciers (Cosbey and Vogt-Schilb, 2023).
30% is the GHG reduction that Peru has committed to achieve by 2030, taking 2010 as a baseline (Beverinotti, J et al., 2023).
0.9 °C in 2040 and 2.4 °C by the end of the century is the projected temperature increase for Colombia, with more droughts and extreme rains (Beverinotti, J et al., 2023).
51% is the emissions reduction that Colombia has committed to achieve by 2030, with a goal of carbon neutral by 2050 (Beverinotti, J et al., 2023).
32% of farmers in Bolivia use irrigation, but it only covers 7% of the planted area (Castilleja et al., 2023).
Between 40% and 60% of the territory and forests of the Andean countries are part of the biodiverse Amazon basin, with great potential for sustainable development (Castilleja et al., 2023).
