In every chapter, ECLAC, FAO and IICA offer policy recommendations that they consider necessary to reinvigorate the region's agriculture. In the particular case of family farming, the report recommends a clear focus on the need to implement intersectoral policies that will retain new replacement generations and foster innovation and knowledge management. Moreover, instruments need to be developed by which these farms can successfully enter value chains.

Book excerpt: This biennial report is the result of the joint efforts of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA). The health, economic and social crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic also offers opportunities for rebuilding and transformation that will strengthen resilience and reduce or prevent future crises. The pandemic has demonstrated that the principle of “rebuilding better” should be the basis of efforts to emerge from the crisis, which will necessitate the transformation of the Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC) development model and the implementation of the necessary adjustments in its agri-food systems (AFSs) to build resilience to future risks. Transformative actions will need to take into account the central role and importance of ensuring prosperous and inclusive AFSs and rural territories, given that they represent an important source of income, employment and food for the region and the world. LAC's rural territories produce food for more than 800 million people; cultivate 14 % of the world's crops; are home to a large part of the planet's biodiversity, freshwater and natural forests; produce half of the energy in the region and provide the ecosystem services on which cities depend. At the same time, it must be acknowledged that even before the onset of the pandemic, it had been said that AFSs were in need of transformation in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This was due to the fact that, prior to the pandemic, rural areas were already lagging considerably behind in terms of their development indicators, due to the interplay of multiple social, economic and territorial inequalities reproduced from one generation to the next.

Book excerpt: Just as the world economy was showing signs of a recovery, a new global recession and a financial crisis in Europe are looming on thehorizon. The economies of the great majority ofcountries grew in 2010, albeit at different speeds. While growth in the most developed countries wassluggish and in Latin America and the Caribbean(LAC) averaged a little over 4%, the productionof the developing economies rose by more than6.5%, with China and India, the new engines ofthe world economy, leading the way. Paradoxically, the specter of recession hasappeared when the global economy is alsoshowing growing inflationary pressure, fueledby the behavior of the emerging economies, in which food and energy weigh more heavilyon consumption. A rise in the cost of the foodbasket has once again turned the spotlight onthe problem of food security and highlighted theclimate of instability in the markets, reflected inthe volatility of commodity prices. These conclusions are based on the macroeconomicand sectoral contexts presented in the first part ofthe latest report prepared jointly by the UnitedNations Economic Commission for Latin Americaand the Caribbean (ECLAC), the Regional Officefor Latin America and the Caribbean of the UnitedNations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperationon Agriculture (IICA) for 2011, entitled TheOutlook for Agriculture and Rural Developmentin the Americas: a Perspective on Latin Americaand the Caribbean. The report is divided intofour sections, comprised of 11 chapters and astatistical annex.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes the significance of new economic context in Latin America and the Caribbean for the design of policies for the agricultural sector. In addition, it analyzes and assesses recent trends in agricultural development policy in Latin America, to identify and synthesize new policy directions, and to highlight emerging challenges and avenues for policy innovation. The main conclusion of the study is that Latin American agricultural and rural development policy is at a turning point that will require bold new initiatives to improve the production performance of agriculture, reduce rural poverty, protect the natural resource base of the sector and ensure the political sustainability of economic growth. This will require a pro-active set of interventions designed at restoring the specificity of sectoral agricultural policy while maintaining consistency with the macro reforms.--Publisher's description.
