Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
88% of the emissions that come from the livestock sector are due to enteric fermentation in the digestive tract of ruminant animals (cattle, sheep and goats), released through belching, the rest comes from manure. (CGIAR, 2023).
10.6% of agricultural emissions were attributed to the use of fertilizers in 2018 (CGIAR, 2023).
66% probability that the global temperature will exceed 1.5°C (WMO, 2023).
More than 60% of irrigated cropland in the world is severely affected by water stress (FAO, 2020).
75% of the water administered by the State is for agriculture (IICA, 2023).
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).
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).
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).
336 million hectares was the increase in global agricultural land between 1961 and 2020 (Fuglie, Morgan, S, & Jelliffe, 2024).
