This includes a significant reduction of AFOLU emissions and an increase in carbon sinks, globally and in the Latin America region. Globally, food systems account for 80% of deforestation and 29% of global GHG emissions. In the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region, AFOLU emissions represent 46% of total emissions; the main drivers for deforestation and land-use change in the region are commodity agriculture and shifting agriculture, whereas the main source for agriculture emissions is livestock (Roe et al., 2021).<\/p><p>Latin America is the world\u2019s largest net food exporting region. It accounts for 13% of agricultural goods and fish produced worldwide and contributes to 25% of the world\u2019s food exports. Agriculture represents 4.7% of the region\u2019s GDP and employed 14.1% of its labour force (OECD-FAO, 2020; FAO, 2018b). Latin America\u2019s strong dependence on the agricultural sector aligns with the urgency to adopt sustainable production practices to achieve the global climate objectives, untap the many opportunities that arise from a low-carbon development pathway and, last but not least, to maintain and even strengthen its role as a major producer and exporter of agricultural products in the future.<\/p><p>\u00a0To identify potential investment opportunities, international guidance on sustainable investment criteria for the sector should be combined with information on where the highest emissions reductions potential lies. 60% of AFOLU emissions in the region come from land use change and 40% from agriculture. Recent research highlights that the biggest mitigation opportunities in Latin America involve sustainable intensification practices that avoid deforestation and ecosystem conversion, as well as agriculture practices that additionally contribute to carbon sequestration (agroforestry, biochar from crop residues, soil organic carbon in croplands and grasslands) (Roe et al., 2021; UNCCD, 2022).<\/p><p>Argentina, Brazil and Peru are all in the top 15 countries with the highest total cost-effective mitigation potential from land-based measures, globally. In the case of Argentina, the biggest mitigation potential comes from implementing sustainable agricultural practices such as agroforestry and biochar application, followed by demand side measures like reducing food waste or shifting to healthy diets (Roe et al., 2021). For Brazil, the highest mitigation potential comes from forest restoration and protection, followed by agriculture mitigation measures that contribute to carbon sequestration. In Peru, over 80% of the country\u2019s potential is linked to reducing deforestation through measures to protect forest and other ecosystems.<\/p><p>The forthcoming report on <strong>\u201cClimate investment in the food and agriculture sector in Latin America\u201d<\/strong>, produced under the DecarBOOST project, gives an overview of current investment flows in the sector, covering both public expenditure and private investment, and support policies, gives insights into where investments should be directed to align the sector with a pathway towards Paris compatibility and ensure that it remains competitive in a carbon-neutral future and provides an overview of sector-specific Paris-compatible investment opportunities. Through case studies, two investment opportunities related to the production of biochar and alternative proteins are examined in more detail to analyse conducive framework conditions and to formulate recommendations on how to scale-up investments in the selected area in the future.<\/p><p><strong>The report concludes with the following take-aways:<br \/><\/strong><br \/><strong>In a Paris Agreement-compatible world, agri-food systems are not only expected to meet the consumption needs of people and animals, but also to contribute to multiple climate and development objectives simultaneously.<\/strong> <br \/>Policy support is needed to accelerate the uptake of both investment opportunities analysed in this report, for example by providing financial incentives for start-ups, promoting research and innovation in production chains, and encouraging users and consumers to further increase demand for both products. Private investments should be (re)directed to agribusinesses that are considering or have already made the shift to business models that minimise the climate impacts of their operations will allow both development and climate objective to be met in the long run.<\/p><p><strong>Redirecting at least part of Latin America\u2019s foreign capital inflows from conventional activities to innovative solutions or products in the sector would be fully aligned with international guidance on making future investments compatible with the Paris Agreement.<\/strong><\/p><p>There is significant investment flowing into the region but only a small share is flowing into innovative, more sustainable and climate-friendly alternatives. At the same time, there is already important public support, e.g., for research and development, that, if directed to the right purposes could play an important role in overcoming barriers in the region to further expand into new investment opportunities like the production of biochar and alternative proteins. These opportunities can not only bring economic benefits to the countries but are in line with reducing emissions and preventing climate change impacts.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p><b>Bibliograf\u00eda<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FAO (2018) <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investment in Agriculture: The Key to Poverty Reduction<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OECD-FAO (2020) <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2020-2029<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
