Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
33% of global biodiversity hotspots are located in grassland regions threatened by agricultural expansion (Kan et al., 2026).
Between 20% and 35% of the world's terrestrial carbon is stored in grasslands, ecosystems currently under increasing agricultural pressure (Kan et al., 2026).
6% of global land use change is attributed individually to countries such as Russia, India, China, and the United States (Kan et al., 2026).
13% of the global conversion of natural ecosystems is concentrated in Brazil, the country with the highest recorded proportion (Kan et al., 2026).
The conversion of grasslands and wetlands to agriculture is progressing almost 4 times faster than deforestation worldwide (Kan et al., 2026).
A 25% annual reduction in GHG emissions could be achieved globally with sustainable production models (CAF, 2025).
More than 20% of forests and arable lands are degraded by erosion and unsustainable management (CAF, 2025).
The annual gap in ALC19 for climate and biodiversity is 102 billion USD (OECD, 2024).
3,000 hectares were rehabilitated through agroforestry systems in various regions of Peru, combining forest species and crops to restore degraded soils and strengthen the livelihoods of local communities, according to documented experiences (SERFOR, 2018).
1,250 hectares are under management or recovery processes in Amazonian ecosystems of Peru, integrating ecological restoration actions and sustainable forest management practices documented across various experiences in the country (SERFOR, 2018).
