Tropical agriculture in Latin America and the Caribbean at the United Nations Food Systems Summit

Options are presented to achieve the transformation and optimization of some tropical production systems by 2030 and 2050, based on the capacities available in the region, advances in science and technology and the new determinants that the intertropical belt faces and will face. The transformation is prioritized, as a practical and academic example, of two productive and agri-food systems of relevance in the region, but of particular importance in the intertropical belt: intensive industrial agriculture and family farming.
