20.29 °C was the global average temperature recorded in 2024, with an anomaly of +1.18 °C (SENAMHI, 2024). This thermal increase is reflected in Peru through a higher frequency and intensity of droughts, floods, heat waves, cold spells, and landslides, affecting ecosystems, infrastructure, and productive sectors.

This study evaluates the effect of different bio-ferments on the morphology and quality of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) seedlings under nursery conditions. Treatments were compared based on parameters such as height, stem diameter, number of leaves, and seedling quality. The results show significant improvements in growth when bio-ferments are applied, highlighting their potential as an agroecological input for early stages of cacao development (Chuquizuta et al., 2025).

This study phenotypically characterizes 74 wild accessions of Myrciaria dubia (camu camu) from the INIA ex situ germplasm bank to identify variability relevant for genetic improvement, conservation, and sustainable use programs. Morphological, physical, and fruit quality characteristics were evaluated, revealing a wide diversity that can be used to select genotypes with higher yield and quality Imán (Correa et al., 2025).

This study evaluates the spatial distribution of cadmium (Cd) in soils cultivated with avocado (Persea americana) in different regions of Peru, identifying factors that influence its concentration, such as texture, pH, organic matter, and agricultural practices. It was determined that several areas have elevated levels of Cd, which represents a risk to food safety and exports, especially given the European Union's international standards (Solórzano et al., 2025).
