Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
36 kg of beef per person per year is consumed in North America, four times the world average of 9 kg (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
15 % emissions could be reduced by reducing fertilizer use or adopting organic agriculture, but this could also reduce agricultural production by 5 %, increase food prices by 13 % and make healthy diets more expensive by 10 % (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
50-60% will increase global food demand in the coming decades (World Bank, 2024).
1.8% is the increase in protein derived from dairy products in North America, thanks to increased consumption of cheese and butter, which offsets the drop in consumption of powdered milk (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).
5% is the projected increase in calorie intake in Latin America and the Caribbean, with a 22% reduction in the number of undernourished people (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).
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).
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).
1.0% per year is the projected growth for global per capita consumption of fresh dairy products over the next 10 years, exceeding the rate of the past 10 years (OECD and FAO, 2023).
