Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
USD 329 billion annually could be generated with climate-smart practices, ensuring food security until 2050 without affecting biodiversity and carbon (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
52 gigatons of GHGs must be reduced to zero by 2050 to limit warming to 1.5°C, but without additional measures, an increase of 3.2°C is projected by 2100 (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
17 of the 33 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean show high vulnerability to extreme weather events (ECLAC, 2024).
30% is the approximate reduction in the use of materials and the carbon footprint that could be achieved with the implementation of circular economy strategies (ECLAC, 2024).
474 billion will be needed by developing countries for mitigation and adaptation by 2030, according to commitments in 2016 NDCs (Kissinger et al., 2019).
650 billion dollars are spent by governments on the agricultural sector; optimizing just 10% could reduce GHG emissions by 40% (World Bank, 2024).
5-10 billion annually could generate a sustainable agroeconomy, with nutritious food, low emissions and fair payments to farmers (World Bank, 2024).
4% of global climate finance goes to agriculture, despite its vulnerability and contribution to emissions (World Bank, 2024).
200,000 hectares will be forested in Chile by 2030, with at least 100,000 hectares of permanent cover and 70,000 hectares of native species (Government of Chile, 2021).
52,959 hectares in Argentina had crops adapted to climate change in the 2021-2022 season (Ministry of Economy of Argentina, 2023).
