Mobile phone apps can be a cost-effective way to provide decision support to farmers, and they can support the collection of agricultural data.
In this article we present a first attempt to understand the immediate impact of COVID-19 and the sanitary measures taken by governments on farming systems in Central America and Mexico (CAM).

Silvopastoral systems (SPS)—production systems integrating trees, forages, and livestock within the same land area—are recognized as critical for reducing tropical deforestation and improving livelihoods, ecosystem services, and carbon sinks.
Continued global wheat yield increase (about 1.3% p.a. for 2000–2019) remains an essential condition for greater world food security.
Countries often lack methods for rapidly, but robustly determining greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation actions and their impacts comprehensively in the land use sector to support commitments to the Paris Agreement.
