12 non-governmental organizations, including FACRP, emerged as community advocates for watershed protection and sustainable agriculture in Trinidad and Tobago (Govia & Roopnarine, 2024).
40.2% is the share of agrifood employment (including trade and transportation) in total employment in the Americas (FAO, 2024).
Around 3.4 billion people, 45 percent of the global population, live in rural areas of developing countries, and most depend on smallholder farms for their livelihoods and sustenance (IFAD, n.d.).
90% of the 608 million agricultural farms worldwide are family farms (FAO, 2024).

142 cows was the average size of organic dairy farms in the United States in 2021, increasing from 109 cows in 2008 (Gillespie et al., 2024).
This study examined the relationship between air and sea surface temperatures, Peruvian organic agro-exports (2000–2022), and food security. It found that higher organic agro-exports reduce undernourishment globally and enhance access to healthy diets despite climate change (Coayla & Bedon, 2024).
16% of world food production and 70% of food for domestic herbivores comes from grasslands, mainly in Africa and South America (UNCCD, 2024).
