Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
Precision agriculture, through GPS-enabled application technology, soil moisture measurement, and analytics tools, helps better target nitrogen applications, reduce waste, and improve nitrogen use efficiency.
AI enables growers to use less fertilizer while maintaining reliable crop yields by supporting precise nutrient management strategies under uncertain market conditions.
AI is transforming the manufacturing and application of nitrogen fertilizers in the U.S. by analyzing soil, weather, and crop behavior to support precise nutrient management strategies.
51 initiatives correspond to information and communication technologies (ICT) in the report’s IAP mapping (ECLAC, 2025).
9.5% was the share of business services after increasing from 5% (as reported over time) (ECLAC, 2025).
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...
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).
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).
100% of large-scale U.S. agricultural producers use satellite information, much of it generated by NASA, to feed their automated precision agriculture systems for irrigation, fertilization, and other activities (Velásquez, A., 2025).
45% could increase Latin American agricultural productive efficiency through the coordinated implementation of digital transformation strategies, including adapted mechanization and robotics, digital innovation, and artificial intelligence according to CAF projections (Velásquez, A., 2025).
