The economies of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have been severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, but the region’s agribusiness sector has shown great resilience.

Latin America is the most biodiverse region on the planet, but biodiversity has been slashed in recent decades and continues to be lost.
