Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
The research analyzes ancestral practices of using natural fertilizers and biocides in Aymara agriculture in Puno, Peru. Through an ethnographic approach, it documents how peasant families use organic resources (such as plants, minerals, and human urine) to fertilize soils and control pests, thus preserving agricultural sustainability and traditional wisdom.
1 support fund has been established by RSPO to cover training or audit costs and help smallholder farmers implement improved agricultural practices and become certified (Larrea et al., 2021).
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).
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).
This study assessed crop diversity among 180 Peruvian farmers (2018–2022) using Shannon–Weiner and Margalef indices. Five crop types were identified; projections indicate growth in 15 families and decline in 9 by 2025 (Chavez et al., 2024).
Climate change threatens subsistence agriculture by reducing productivity and increasing food insecurity, especially in vulnerable rural communities, requiring differentiated policies and local adaptation strategies (Córdova, 2021).
The study reveals that much of the research on the Coffee Cultural Landscape is limited and fragmented, which hinders its effective management as cultural heritage and aggravates the tensions between conservation, tourism and rural reality (Cruz-Rincón, D. F., 2024).
PRONAF credit increases the commercialization of family farms and is reinforced with technical assistance, while seed delivery shows no significant impact (Wesz Junior et al., 2024).
7 technical manuals have been published to improve the work of CENTA extension workers and other technology transfer efforts of PAF-Food Security (Martín Manzano, 2012).
162 CENTA extension workers have been trained in technical assistance in production technologies, agricultural diversification and SAN methodologies (Martín Manzano, 2012).
