    Digitalising agriculture for an inclusive transformation of rural societies
    2021
    Also available in:
    The digitalisation of agrifood systems has made progress; still, it remains a pending topic in the region, especially among smaller producers and traders in rural areas. Accelerating the digitalisation process is not an easy task. To begin with, there is an urgent need to improve the environment in which these technologies are developed and implemented. This requires a state policy that fosters dialogue and collaboration between civil organisations and the public and private sectors, with the ultimate aim of ensuring that the benefits of digitalisation reach everyone, in particular smaller producers and traders and those living in isolated rural areas.

    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
    2025
    Also 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.
