Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
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).
2°C will be the threshold surpassed by mid-century if the pace of deep decarbonization does not intensify, and it is likely that by 2100 the temperature will have increased by up to 4°C compared to pre-industrial levels (ECLAC, 2024).
1.1 °C above the average recorded between 1850 and 1900, the average temperature of the Earth's surface was between 2011 and 2020 (ECLAC, 2024).
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).
89% of climate finance in 2020 was allocated to mitigation, 8% to adaptation and 3% to cross-cutting actions (ECLAC, 2024).
A 1% increase in productivity growth is equivalent to a 1% decrease in the cost of producing, storing and selling one unit of a product (GAP, 2023)
Nearly 180 million people were harmed by climate events between 1981-2020 (IDB, 2024).
Between 2% and 8% of annual GDP spending is required for the provision of services and infrastructure to face the climate crisis (IDB, 2024).
