Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
3479 kha is the total loss of tree cover in Mexico as a direct result of agriculture in 20 years (GFW, 2024).
25 % of annual anthropogenic CO₂ emissions were absorbed by the ocean between 1960 and 2021 (WMO, 2024).
Between 30%-50% of countries' GDP is contributed by nature (Katz, 2024).
180 million hectares of forest area were lost worldwide between the early 1960s and 2020, almost 140 million of them in Latin America and the Caribbean (Díaz-Bonilla, 2024).
< 0.1% (4.10 kha) is the land cover in Honduras occupied by agricultural land and 6.1% of the land cover corresponds to pasture (647 kha) (GFW, 2024).
1.67% (185 kha) of Honduras' land area is dedicated to oil palm cultivation, the second largest after fruit crops with 0.07% (7.84 kha) (GFW, 2024).
29.1 MtCO₂e/yr was the emission of Honduras' forests, while they absorbed 33.8 MtCO₂e/yr between 2001-2022, resulting in a net sequestration of -4.70 MtCO₂e/yr (GF2, 2024).
25.90 MtCO₂e/year was the average greenhouse gas emission from deforestation due to agricultural expansion in Honduras between 2001 and 2022 (GFW, 2024).
569.9 MtCO₂ was the greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation due to agricultural expansion in Honduras between 2001 and 2022 (GFW, 2024).
1.92 Gt is the total carbon storage in Honduras, with most of the carbon stored in soil (GFW, 2024).
