Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
70% of global freshwater withdrawals are associated with agriculture (Fuglie, Morgan, S, & Jelliffe, 2024).
336 million hectares was the increase in global agricultural land between 1961 and 2020 (Fuglie, Morgan, S, & Jelliffe, 2024).
60% decrease in GHG emissions intensity associated with agricultural land use change in the Global South between 1990 and 2020 (Fuglie, Morgan, S, & Jelliffe, 2024).
50% of the climate footprint of the construction sector comes from concrete, 15% from metals, 29% from fossil resources and the rest from biomass (UNEP, 2024).
89% of climate finance in 2020 was allocated to mitigation, 8% to adaptation and 3% to cross-cutting actions (ECLAC, 2024).
53% was the increase in agricultural production per capita between 1961 and 2020 (Fuglie, Morgan, S, & Jelliffe, 2024).
8% was the increase in global agricultural area to 4.76 billion hectares, or 32% of the world's land area (Fuglie, Morgan, S, & Jelliffe, 2024).
40% will be the deficit between global supply and demand for freshwater by 2030 (WRG, 2009).
18 °C to 22 °C is the optimal temperature range for carrying out tasks, with deviations above or below these values being calculated to considerably affect labor productivity (ECLAC, 2024).
100% of the annual loss of 24 billion tons of fertile soils generates a cost of US$40 billion to the economy (UNEP, 2024).
