In 2025, the government introduced three key policies to strengthen the wheat sector: the establishment of a National Wheat Variety Catalogue, the launch of a pilot production–marketing contract scheme, and the development of predictive digital platforms for yield and flour quality. These policies form part of the first operational phase of the National Strategy for Food Sovereignty and Security (ENSSA), a framework aimed at enhancing national food self-sufficiency, strengthening agricultural resilience, and improving the efficiency and sustainability of agri-food value chains. To implement these measures, the government also launched a wheat action plan, which promotes contract farming models between wheat producers and the milling industry, thereby improving coordination across the value chain.
In December 2025, the National Food Safety and Quality Policy 2026–2036 set out a long-term roadmap to modernise food safety systems. This policy formalised the Scientific Advisory Committee for Food Risk Assessment (CCERA), consolidating risk assessments on microbiological risks within the agriculture sector. These assessments were completed on greywater usage in agriculture, dietary exposure to pesticide residue as well as integrated antimicrobial resistance surveillance in the poultry chain. The Food Information and Alert Network (RIAL) was also launched, a national early‑warning and communication platform designed to improve transparency and strengthen rapid response mechanisms.
In 2025, Sustainable Agricultural Development Plans (PDAs) were rolled out by INDAP, aimed at improving data systems, modernising service delivery and streamlining extension processes. They also introduce a more structured and evidence‑based approach to extension, organising interventions around priority production systems (“rubros”) and integrating monitoring, evaluation and digital tools to improve coordination, decision‑making and accountability within INDAP’s support services.
The Transition to Sustainable Agriculture (TAS) programme was expanded as part of its second programme cycle, enrolling new famers and expanding into additional territories aiming to increase the number of producers adopting agroecological practices nationwide. The 2025-26 cycle has a stronger operational emphasis on increased participation of women, youth and Indigenous communities.
New climate‑risk assessment tools were also implemented under INDAP’s Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation Policy. These measures aim to strengthen long‑term resilience and support the agroecological transition of Peasant and Indigenous Family Farming. They are being rolled out through a multi‑pillar framework that integrates risk identification, preparedness, coordinated emergency response and post‑disaster recovery, supported by improved monitoring, early‑warning information and planning tools at farm and territorial levels.
In 2025, the Sectoral Climate Change Adaptation Plan for the Forestry and Agricultural Sector and the Mitigation Plan for the Agriculture Sector under the Climate Change Framework Law (Law No. 21 455) began implementation. These aim to improve soil and water management, reduce livestock-based emissions, increase fertiliser efficiency and improve manure management. Implementation focuses on operationalising more than 60 actions at national and territorial levels, including investments in water storage and irrigation efficiency, ecosystem restoration, climate‑resilient production systems, and improved agrometeorological information and risk‑management tools for producers.
Implementation also began for the Global Environment Facility (GEF) initiative to promote soil restoration, biodiversity and regenerative agriculture models. The programme is being rolled out through pilot landscape and demonstration projects, coupled with efforts to strengthen governance, expand access to finance and markets, and generate scalable models for regenerative practices across regions.
The Chile Conscious Origin Seal (ChOC) was expanded, continuing the establishment of sustainability standards in Chile’s agri-food sector. In 2025, the ChOC programme has certified more than 125 dairy facilities and 118 pork facilities, establishing itself as Chile’s principal public–private platform for promoting sustainability standards across livestock, horticulture and processed food value chains. In the same year, Chile updated its operational and graphic standards, broadened its sectoral coverage and increased its international visibility, publishing the seal on products. The programme also strengthened its monitoring and verification mechanisms, requiring participating firms to meet criteria related to environmental management, animal welfare, traceability and social responsibility, while providing technical assistance to support compliance.
