Exploring an illustrative national pathway for Guatemala to achieve food and climate targets in the framework of the FAO Global Roadmap
The Sustainable Economic Observatory at Universidad Del Valle de Guatemala (UVG) and the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT collaboratively developed an illustrative national food and land use pathway for Guatemala, incorporating actions that were prioritized with agriculture, health, environment and development ministries, NGOs, and farmer associations.
Key messages
- Effects of shifting to this illustrative national pathway were modelled using the FABLE Calculator.
- Modelled results show that implementation of eight actions would substantially improve food and climate outcomes for Guatemala over the next three decades, reducing key trade-offs.
- Results are being used to foster national dialogues and inform stakeholder engagement on the future of the agrifood system in Guatemala.
