The study conducts a comprehensive review of the use of predictive models to strengthen food security in Latin America, with an emphasis on Colombia. It analyzes 65 studies published between 2014 and 2024 that apply algorithms such as Random Forests and Neural Networks to anticipate agricultural yields, manage climate risks, and optimize resources. The results show that agricultural, climatic, and...
6 decimal places minimum represents the precision required in latitude and longitude coordinates to identify the exact geographical location of land plots under the EUDR regulation (Sarmiento, 2025).
4 hectares represents the minimum plot size (excluding cattle production) from which geolocation must be provided using polygons with enough latitude and longitude points to outline the perimeter of the land (Sarmiento, 2025).
More than 90% of rural households in Peru, Bolivia, El Salvador and Paraguay have no Internet connection.
