Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
140 billion additional annual dollars in agriculture and rural development are needed to eradicate poverty and hunger in the world (World Bank, 2022).
22% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from agribusiness, the second largest contributor worldwide (OECD, 2022).
5.3% will be the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the nitrogen fertilizer market during the period of 2022-2029.
Nearly 100 million people could be forced to rely again on firewood for cooking due to the energy crisis (IAEA, 2022).
About 95% of the food we consume comes from the soil (FAO, 2022).
Approximately 750 million people globally are exposed to severe levels of food insecurity and this statistic is trending upwards (Duncan et al., 2022).
Nutritional outcomes and agriculture are linked in six important ways: as a source of food, as a source of income, through food prices, women's empowerment, women's time use, and women's health and nutritional status (Duncan et al., 2022).
Current frameworks used to guide nutrition interventions are designed from a health sector paradigm, leaving agricultural aspects not sufficiently leveraged (Duncan et al., 2022).
37% represents the decline in the ratio of government spending on agriculture as compared with the sector's contribution to total economy, decreasing from 0.42 in 2001 to 0.26 in 2017 (Duncan et al., 2022)
30% more productivity and more than 40% less agricultural emissions could be achieved by repurposing public spending on efficient technologies.
