Chapter 23 in Global food policy report 2025: Food policy: Lessons and priorities for a changing world, 2025-05-28, pp 541-554 from International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)

Abstract: Over the past five decades, Latin America and the Caribbean has experienced significant changes in its food systems, while also facing both long-standing and new challenges. The region plays a key role in global food security and nutrition, as well as in stabilizing the global climate and conserving biodiversity. Moving forward, the region must overcome the hurdles created by economic and political instability, climate change, and deep-rooted structural inequalities. This chapter draws on research by IFPRI and partners to outline the evolving food systems landscape and present policy options and research priorities for the years ahead.
