Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
59% of the Sustainable Development Goals (10 out of 17) have environmental sustainability as a key objective related to green production (Cervera-Ferri & Ureña, 2017).
17.4 million hectares in Brazil apply integrated crop-livestock-forest systems, capturing 21.8 million tons of CO2, exceeding the NDC targets for 2020 by 21% (World Bank, 2023).
16% is the emissions reduction that Honduras is committed to achieve by 2030, with targets in key sectors and the restoration of 1.3 million hectares of forest (World Bank, 2023).
56% of Honduras' territory is covered by forests, which are essential for mitigating climate change, strengthening resilience to natural disasters and generating income for rural communities (World Bank, 2023).
0.06% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from Honduras, with 2.9 tons of CO₂ equivalent per capita in 2018, below the world (6.45) and regional (6.22) average (World Bank, 2023) (World Bank, 2023).
71.6% of exports, 47.9% of employment and one third of electricity generation in Honduras depend on water resources (World Bank, 2023).
210 billion dollars is the theoretical annual value that the Brazilian Amazon contributes to the planet as a carbon sink, hosting more than half of the remaining tropical forests (World Bank, 2024).
317 billion dollars is the annual economic value that Brazil's Amazon rainforest regions bring to local communities (World Bank, 2024).
4.3 to 20.2 trillion dollars in annual economic losses are attributed to ecosystem degradation, impacting 3.2 billion people (FAO, 2024).
75% of the global land surface has been degraded or transformed, especially affecting forests, grasslands and wetlands, and is expected to exceed 90% in the next 30 years (FAO, 2024).
