Food systems in the Americas are in profound transition: IICA (Forbes)

May 20, 2021


Forbes Central America published an article that discussed the agrifood sector in LAC. Agri-food exports from Latin America and the Caribbean increased by 2.7% in 2020 and a food supply was generated with the capacity to reach 1,000 million inhabitants. There is a profound process of transition in the agri-food systems in the hemisphere, in the search for environmental, social, and economic sustainability. This belief stems from a report from IFPRI’s 2021 Global Food Policy Report, which analyzed the world from the perspective of Latin America and the Caribbean in one of its chapters.
