The relationship between agriculture, food security, and food sovereignty is investigated, highlighting the role of public policies in guaranteeing the right to adequate and sustainable food. Based on an analysis of academic sources and international organizations, it addresses the main challenges facing agriculture in Colombia and Latin America, such as land concentration, dependence on imports, and rural inequality. The study highlights the need to strengthen family farming, promote gender equality, and consolidate local food systems geared toward self-sufficiency and social justice.

Interrelationship between diseases and calving season and their impact on reproductive parameters and milk production of tropical dairy cows
The study conducts a systematic review of the methods applied in prospective studies for strategic planning of agri-food chains in Latin America and the Caribbean between 2010 and 2021. It examines the most widely used methodologies (such as MACTOR, MICMAC, and Delphi), their contributions to decision-making, and the challenges that remain in institutionalizing regional foresight. It also highlights the importance of incorporating a long-term vision that links sustainability, innovation, and food security in the development of agri-food production systems.

The study presents a review of the use of remote sensors in agriculture, with an emphasis on their applications for banana cultivation (Musa AAA) in Costa Rica and other tropical regions. It evaluates three main areas: the delimitation of cultivated areas, the estimation of productivity, and the diagnosis of diseases. It analyzes the advantages of using satellite imagery, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and drones (UAVs) in agricultural monitoring, highlighting their accuracy (up to 95%) in identifying plantations and detecting diseases such as black Sigatoka and Fusarium wilt. The study demonstrates the potential of these technologies to improve agricultural planning, environmental management, and phytosanitary prevention.
