Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
68% of global agri-food emissions come from middle-income countries, while high-income countries contribute 21% and low-income countries 11% (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
52 gigatons of GHGs must be reduced to zero by 2050 to limit warming to 1.5°C, but without additional measures, an increase of 3.2°C is projected by 2100 (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
By 170 million tons, the use of chemical fertilizers in the world has increased from 16 million tons in 1960 to 186 million tons in 2020 (CGIAR, 2023).
93.8% of National Communications (NCs) mention gender, and 63.3% include meaningful gender equality approaches and sectoral assessments to improve policies (UNFCCC, 2024).

11 days of school instruction are lost on average per year due to weather-related closures, primarily affecting schools in low- and middle-income countries (World Bank, 2024).
72% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from household-level behaviors, highlighting the importance of education to promote behavioral change (World Bank, 2024).
1.5% per year is the projected growth for world milk production by 2032 (OECD and FAO, 2023).
7% of the world's milk production is marketed internationally, mainly due to its perishable nature and high water content, over 85% (OECD and FAO, 2023).
