Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
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).
70% of global freshwater withdrawals are associated with agriculture (Fuglie, Morgan, S, & Jelliffe, 2024).
597 million hectares was the increase in agricultural land in the global south between 1961 and 2020 (Fuglie, Morgan, S, & Jelliffe, 2024).
