Although there was a policy of replacing fuel oil with natural gas in power plants 522 , in the forecast for the electricity sector for the period 2010 to 2025 it is mentioned that it would be desirable to expand the use of renewable s and possibly nuclear power to continue reducing the consumption of fuels derived from petroleum. 523 At present, 26.4% of generation comes from clean energy sources. 524

3.141. The marketing, importing and processing of GMOs intended for human use or consumption require authorization from Federal Commission for Protection against Health Risks (COFEPRIS) of the the Ministries of Health (SSA). This Commission carries out a risk assessment, in accordance with scientific protocols, to determine the safety of GMOs and their products for human consumption. GMOs or products containing GMOs, which are intended for direct human consumption, must bear an explicit reference to GMOs and the label must include their food composition or nutritional properties, where these differ significantly from conventional products. the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER) issues Mexican Official Standards (NOMs) specifying labelling for seeds or other material intended for sowing, cultivation and agricultural production, containing GMOs (Article 101 of the Law on Biosafety of Genetically Modified Organisms).

4.1. (...) Between 2016 and 2021 there was a slight fall in the percentage of the population employed in agriculture (Table 4.1). Nonetheless, the sector continues to be important to the rural population (around 28 million people), as the majority of them are dependent on crop farming, hence the importance of agriculture in terms of social, economic and environmental equity in Mexico.

4.4. The National Development Plan (PND) 2019-24 is the key planning document for setting national public policy priorities, and together with the Sectoral Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development 2020-24, it lays down the development goals for the sector. The PND sets the goals of achieving food self sufficiency and "saving the countryside"; accordingly, the first goal of the sectoral programme is to increase food production, especially of staple grains, meats and milk, by incorporating technologies that will raise productivity and competitiveness while supporting sustainability and inclusion.

4.5. Another sectoral programme goal is to "increase sustainable production practices in the agricultural, aquaculture and fisheries sector in view of agro-climatic risks". In 2017, only 46.2% of producers followed at least one sustainable practice. The Plan proposes that at least one sustainable practice should be adopted by 75% of agricultural producers in order for Mexico to meet its commitments under the Paris Agreement. The Plan also sets a goal of building the resilience of at least 50% of the municipalities most vulnerable to climate change, establishing early warning and risk management systems at all levels of government and achieving a net deforestation rate of 0% by 2030. Despite these efforts, some studies point to the need to address particular challenges in relation to sustainable agricultural production. For example, according to the OECD, distributing free fertilizers under the Fertilizers for Well-being programme without considering the needs of the soil can adversely affect water and air quality. Moreover, according to the Sectoral Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development 2020-24, the water stress experienced by Mexico is chiefly the result of intensive water usage (77% of fresh water is used for crop irrigation).
