700 million tons of waste straw from various crops are produced by China, one of the world's leading producers of food grains (GGGI, 2023).
4 billion tons (dry matter) per year is the estimate of agricultural waste in the world (GGGI, 2023).
4.4 billion tons of CO₂ annually from food loss and waste account for 8% of global anthropogenic emissions (FAO, 2011).
By 2050, bioenergy will represent 25% of the total primary energy supply (GGGI, 2023).
9% of global energy demand is covered by bioenergy, which already constitutes an important source of energy worldwide (GGGI, 2023).
100% of the urea used in Central and South America is imported (GGGI, 2024).
More than 50% of the 201 million tons of inorganic fertilizers used in 2020 are composed of nitrogen, while 24% corresponds to phosphorus and 20% to potassium (GGGI, 2024).
201 tons of inorganic fertilizers, composed of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, represented global demand in 2020 (GGGI, 2023).
Between US$61-63 million annually should be invested to prevent further conservation losses in Colombia after the peace agreement (Guerrero-Pineda, C. et al., 2022)
Between 38-52% is the expected rate of biodiversity decline in Colombia after the peace agreement (Guerrero-Pineda, C. et al., 2022)
