Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
25% of transportation fuels in Brazil are biofuels, mainly ethanol based on sugar cane (IFPRI, 2023).
73% of biodiesel comes from vegetable oils (31% palm, 24% soybean and 14% rapeseed), while 21% comes from used cooking oils (IFPRI, 2023).
59% of ethanol comes from corn, 22% from sugarcane, 2% from molasses, 2% from wheat and the rest from other crops (IFPRI, 2023).
22% of sugarcane production and 16% of corn production are used for ethanol production (IFPRI, 2023).
44% was the increase in global biofuel production between 2011 and 2021, continuing its sustained growth during that period (IFPRI, 2023).
76% reduction in costs related to climate change is possible through the adoption of healthier and more sustainable dietary patterns (FAO, 2023).
12.7 trillion dollars PPP was the global hidden cost of agrifood systems in 2020, considering emissions, water use, soil change, unhealthy diets, malnutrition and poverty (FAO, 2023).
75% of greenhouse gas emissions come from cities, which also account for 70% of global energy consumption and 75% of natural resource consumption (GGGI, 2022).
700 million tons of waste straw from various crops are produced by China, one of the world's leading producers of food grains (GGGI, 2023).
4 billion tons (dry matter) per year is the estimate of agricultural waste in the world (GGGI, 2023).
