Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
258 million people faced acute food insecurity in 2022, in the 10 countries most affected by fragile and crisis contexts (OECD, 2022).
The 1% increase in global GDP from closing the gender gap in agricultural productivity and wages would reduce food insecurity by 2%, benefiting 45 million people.
A quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions come from food production (UNDP, 2024).
600 million people will suffer from chronic undernourishment by 2030 (UNDP, 2024).
This study examined the relationship between air and sea surface temperatures, Peruvian organic agro-exports (2000–2022), and food security. It found that higher organic agro-exports reduce undernourishment globally and enhance access to healthy diets despite climate change (Coayla & Bedon, 2024).
1.2 billion poor people in developing countries depend on livestock for food security and income (UNCCD, 2024).
60% higher than the world average continues to be sugar consumption in LAC, despite the projected decrease of 1 kg per person by 2033 (OECD and FAO, 2024).
3,100 kcal/person per year is the projected average per capita caloric availability for 2033 in LAC, with slow growth of 0.3% per year on average over the ten-year period (OECD and FAO, 2024).
122 kcal/person/day is the projected increase in caloric availability in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2033 (OECD and FAO, 2024).
1.5% is the projected increase in protein intake in North America, equivalent to 1.9 g/person/day by 2033 (OECD and FAO, 2024).
