No results found.América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) es la principal región exportadora neta de alimentos del mundo, cumpliendo un importante rol en la seguridad alimentaria del mundo y de la propia región. Durante el año 2022, las exportaciones agroalimentarias de ALC representaron el 18 % de las exportaciones de productos agroalimentarios del mundo, lo que significó un porcentaje mayor en comparación con 2021, en donde la participación de ALC fue del 15 % 1 . La región durante el trienio 2020 2022 exportó el 42,15 % de los productos agroalimentarios que produce, medido en calorías equivalente, y se espera alcance 42,56 % el año 2032 2 . A pesar de la importante orientación exportadora de la región varios países son también importadores netos, como El Salvador, Panamá, y la mayor parte del Caribe, siendo el comercio intrarregional aún bajo, representando menos del 15 % de sus exportaciones y el 40 % de sus importaciones. -

ProjectSupport to Regional Cooperation for Climate Management of Agricultural Ecosystems with an Emphasis on Water and Soil - TCP/RLA/3805
Apoyo a la Cooperación Regional para la Gestión Climática en Ecosistemas Agrícolas con Énfasis en Agua y Suelo
2025Also available in:
The LAC has no intergovernmental platform specifically covering agriculture and climate change in the region. As a result, the Government of Chile promoted the creation of the Latin American and Caribbean platform for Climate Action in Agriculture (PLACA), which currently has nine member countries and four international partner institutions. Its Secretariat is headed by FAO and the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). The Latin American and Caribbean Regional Soil Partnership (ASLAC), which was established in 2013 and is a member of the Global Soil Partnership (GSP), serves as a mechanism for developing a solid, interactive partnership and ensuring greater collaboration and synergy of efforts among stakeholders. The GSP and its regional partnerships work in coordination with a technical secretariat to enhance soil governance and sustainable soil management, from users in the field to politicians. Food system vulnerability, amplified by the threat of climate change, is the result of the region’s technical advances and policymaking not having kept pace. There is no mechanism facilitating the generation of knowledge and the reconciliation of the needs of the different countries in order to narrow these gaps. Through the ASLAC platform, the project is centred on the water and soil sectors. Its implementation will allow ASLAC to consolidate its role in support of the countries of the region, contributing to existing instruments, in particular the Voluntary Guidelines for Sustainable Soil Management (VGSSM) (FAO, 2017) and climate-smart agriculture, as well as better water governance, in line with the path undertaken by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the commitments set out in FAO’s Global Framework on Water Scarcity in Agriculture (WASAG).
