This publication is a synthesis of three regional meetings on agroecology. It highlights existing practices in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean as well as challenges and policy options for the amplification of agroecology as a practice, a science and a movement. This publication presents the contributions and proposals of key actors in agroecology: producers and social movements, academia and research institutes, government representatives, FAO officials and representatives of in digenous peoples and local communities.

Book (series)Latin America and the Caribbean Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2024
Building resilience to climate variability and extremes for food security and nutrition
2025Also available in:
Latin America and the Caribbean have seen a decline in hunger and food insecurity for two years, driven by social protection programs and post-COVID recovery. However, disparities persist, especially among women, rural populations, and vulnerable groups. The region is unlikely to meet most nutrition targets, and healthy diets remain expensive. Climate variability is increasing in the region, affecting food security across availability, access, utilization, and stability. This climate impact reduces agricultural productivity, disrupts food supply chains, and raises food prices. Vulnerable populations are most affected, with changing diets further exacerbating the situation. Climate change is worsening food security and the causes of malnutrition. -
