Smart subsidies combine co-financing and technical assistance. PRODAF’s smart subsidies combined non-reimbursable contributions with technical assistance to foster efficient and environmentally sustainable technology adoption.
Los subsidios inteligentes de PRODAF se implementaron como aportes no reembolsables acompañados por asistencia técnica para promover adopción tecnológica eficiente y ambientalmente sostenible.
Citrus productivity gains arise from systemic changes (e.g., irrigation, GAP) that materialize over time.
Inversiones como riego y buenas prácticas producen impactos que se materializan con el tiempo en cítricos.
Smart subsidies should be framed within longer-term strategies for systematic and sustainable production improvements, beyond one-off inputs.
Se recomienda encuadrar el instrumento en estrategias que mejoren el sistema productivo de forma sistemática y sostenible, más allá del acceso puntual a insumos.
0.006 was the average DID effect on mean NDVI for citrus, indicating productivity improvement.
0,006 fue el efecto promedio estimado por diferencias-en-diferencias en el NDVI promedio para la cadena de cítricos, evidenciando mejora en productividad.
56 % of beneficiaries reported adopting at least one new agricultural practice or technology after receiving the smart subsidy and technical assistance.
56 % de los beneficiarios reportaron haber incorporado al menos una nueva práctica o tecnología agrícola luego de recibir el subsidio inteligente y asistencia técnica.
Treated farmers reported an average 18 % increase in net agricultural income compared to the control group, based on IPW estimates.

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.

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.
