Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
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...
In “almost all” cases, productive articulation initiatives (PAI) (in the same 20 countries) are managed by a decision-making body averaging 11 people, with composition mainly private sector (72.7%), then civil society (15.0%), public sector (10.2%), and academia (1%) (ECLAC, 2025).

3.7% to 4.9% of regional GDP is the estimated average annual equivalent of climate investment through 2030 in LAC (ECLAC, 2025).
The study analyzes local development in the Quevedo canton (Ecuador) based on the strengthening of its agricultural production chains, combining a review of scientific literature and a territorial diagnosis. It identifies the structural conditions, levels of association, and degree of commercial integration of the main crops (bananas, rice, cocoa, African palm, and tropical fruits) revealing an un...
3,500 years old are the first documented potato crops in South America, a tuber that in the 17th century saved Europe from famine, becoming one of the main contributions of the New World to global food security (Velásquez, A., 2025).
Survey of 130 goat producers in Piura (Marcavelica, Lancones, La Brea) found 56.9 % recognized climate change, perceiving impacts on temperature (69.9 %), rainfall (100 %), soil productivity (79.2 %), and water availability (50 %). Four adaptation capacity clusters emerged: excellent (6 %), good (23 %), fair (75 %), and poor (25 %) (Temoche et al., 2024).
52.99% is the percentage of producers with more than 1,000 h.a that are not associated with any type of association (Fedesarrollo, 2024).
20% of the region's population, about 120 million people, live in rural areas (CEPAL, FAO y IICA, 2023)
USD 60 million has been allocated to ten projects between Brazil and FAO to reduce poverty through South-South Cooperation (FAO and ABC/MRE, 2022).
