Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
4 billion tons (dry matter) per year is the estimate of agricultural waste in the world (GGGI, 2023).
4.4 billion tons of CO₂ annually from food loss and waste account for 8% of global anthropogenic emissions (FAO, 2011).
By 2050, bioenergy will represent 25% of the total primary energy supply (GGGI, 2023).
9% of global energy demand is covered by bioenergy, which already constitutes an important source of energy worldwide (GGGI, 2023).
More than 50% of the 201 million tons of inorganic fertilizers used in 2020 are composed of nitrogen, while 24% corresponds to phosphorus and 20% to potassium (GGGI, 2024).
201 tons of inorganic fertilizers, composed of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, represented global demand in 2020 (GGGI, 2023).
$6 trillion dollars (2005 prices) is the difference in cost between climate damages and mitigation costs in 2050 (Kotz, et. al., 2024).
60% will be the income loss in 2100 if emissions continue at the current pace and the global average temperature exceeds 4°C (Kotz, et al., 2024).
19% is the calculation for the reduction in global income over the next 26 years due to climate impacts (Kotz, et al., 2024).
Around 7% of the agricultural area worldwide is equipped for irrigation (Díaz-Bonilla, 2024).
