Chain technologies: cotton

Certified seeds, agrochemicals, and IPM financed to close technology gaps in cotton.

Semillas certificadas, agroquímicos y MIP se financiaron para cerrar brechas tecnológicas.

The impact on returns

2–3 years after adoption for full yield impacts to materialize (NDVI).

2–3 años es la ventana temporal donde se observan impactos plenos en rendimiento (NDVI) postadopción.

PRODAF strengthened formalization and access to ba

A high proportion joined RENSPA and regularized their obligations, which enabled access to banking services. Access to credit increased by 47 percentage points.

Alta proporción ingresó a RENSPA y regularizó obligaciones, lo que habilitó el acceso bancario. El acceso a crédito subió 47 pp.

Citrus technology adoption

0.293 is the increase in technological adoption (citrus), which is highly significant.

0,293 es el aumento en adopción tecnológica (cítricos), altamente significativo.

PRODAF operability

Two provinces and four value chains were prioritized based on technological gaps and economic relevance. These included Chaco (cotton, livestock) and Entre Ríos (citrus, dairy).

2 provincias y 4 cadenas fueron priorizadas según brechas tecnológicas y relevancia económica. En Chaco (algodón, ganadería) y Entre Ríos (cítricos, lácteos).

Family farming in LAC

>50% of food in LAC is produced by family farmers.

>50 % es la proporción de alimentos producidos por agricultura familiar en LAC.

Remote sensing allows for the evaluation of yields

NDVI-based remote sensing is a valuable, cost-effective proxy for yield to assess temporal dynamics of impacts.

El uso de NDVI como proxy de rendimiento es valioso y costo-efectivo para examinar la dinámica temporal de impactos.

Agroecology and Food Security in Peru

The study examines how agroecology supports food security and climate change mitigation in Peru. It highlights its role in strengthening family farming, conserving biodiversity, and reducing emissions (Glave & Escobedo, 2022).

Subsistence subsystems in the central Andes of Per

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).

Sustainable agriculture with associated crops

The article analyzes crop association as an alternative for the development of sustainable agriculture in Latin America. Through a review of 88 studies, it shows that polyculture, agroforestry, and silvopastoral systems improve productivity, profitability, and climate resilience compared to monocultures. It highlights the benefits for soil fertility, biodiversity conservation, and climate change mitigation, proposing this practice as a comprehensive path toward agricultural and food sustainability in rural farming contexts.
