Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
In 2021, 31.9% of women worldwide were experiencing moderate or severe food insecurity, compared to 27.6% of men (FAO, 2024).
50% of the world's population is made up of women, but they continue to be systematically disadvantaged in various dimensions of well-being and livelihoods (FAO, 2024).
80% of people who do not have access to improved drinking water live in rural areas (FAO, 2024).
6.9% of households without a water source have girls as the main people responsible for water collection (FAO, 2024).
-4.4% is the gender gap in land productivity in the sample of plots managed exclusively by women, suggesting that they are more productive than men (FAO, 2024).
Up to 70% of agricultural productivity growth in Latin America and the Caribbean is reduced when environmental costs are taken into account. The increase in production has been driven mainly by the intensive use of inputs rather than by technological or managerial improvements, highlighting the need for policies that integrate sustainability and innovation.

The study compares three sowing methods (furrows, continuous seeding, and broadcasting) of the Cuba OM-22 hybrid grass in the dry tropics of Peru, evaluating biomass, initial establishment, survival, and forage nutritional composition. The results show significant differences in yield and nutritional quality depending on the method applied, providing useful evidence for improving forage practices ...
This study evaluates the impact of intercropping maize with native beans on the morphological growth, yield, and nutritional composition of forage intended for silage in the Peruvian Amazon. Treatments between maize monoculture and bean intercropping are compared, as well as different phenological stages (R2, R4, and R5). The results show improvements in protein, fiber, and productive parameters o...
This study characterizes goat production systems in the Peruvian Amazonian tropical dry forest using multivariate analysis. Productive, reproductive, nutritional, health, and socioeconomic variables were evaluated to identify producer typologies and understand the dynamics affecting the efficiency of the goat system. The analysis allowed for the distinction of groups with differentiated practices ...
33.6 was the external relative labor productivity index for Transport and information in LAC versus the EU (EU=100) in 2023 (ECLAC, 2025).
