57% of all agricultural GHG emissions come from nitrous oxide, where agricultural land management practices drive 94%, equivalent to 316 Tg CO2e of total U.S. N2O emissions (USEPA, 2021).
57% de todas las emisiones de GEI agrícolas provienen del óxido nitroso, donde las prácticas de manejo del suelo agrícola impulsan el 94%, equivalente a 316 Tg CO2e de las emisiones totales de N2O en EE.UU. (USEPA, 2021).

Systematic review compiling existing research on the effects of climate change on Andean agriculture. It analyzes climate variables (temperature, precipitation, evapotranspiration), induced phenomena (soil erosion, glacier retreat, alterations in crops such as potatoes, quinoa, corn), and the vulnerability of small-scale farmers in the high Andes.

The article reviews successful agroecological experiences in tropical livestock systems in Latin America and the Caribbean, highlighting cases in Colombia, Cuba, Haiti, Mexico, and Guadeloupe. It analyzes how integrated practices—such as adapted genetic management, nutrition with local resources, hormone-free reproductive management, and natural parasite control—improve sustainability, resilience, and animal productivity. It includes emblematic studies such as Finca Tosoly (Colombia) and the “Lèt Agogo” program (Haiti), which combine food production, energy, and ecosystem services. The research proposes a framework for transitioning to resilient, multifunctional, low-emission livestock systems based on biodiversity and the circular economy.
