Nearly 2% of B2C trade and 3.2% of global cross-border trade were accounted for by Latin America and the Caribbean in 2019 (IDB, 2019).
66.7% of the population of Latin America and the Caribbean had internet access in 2019, but only 23% of rural households had connection (ECLAC, 2023).
A 1% increase in participation in global value chains is linked to an increase in per capita income of more than 1% in the long run.
60% is the required increase in global food production by 2050, when the population will reach 9.7 billion (UNDESA, 2019).
15% of Brazil's territory occupies the Atlantic Forest, a critical biome with 35% of the country's plants and the most threatened (Da Silva R. F. F. B. et al., 2019).
5.7 million hectares of eucalyptus has Brazil for timber, energy and construction production (Da Silva R. F. F. B. et al., 2019).
50 % would increase total food demand by mid-century, and animal demand by almost 70 % (WRI, 2019).
600 million hectares will grow cropland and pasture by 2050 if no action is taken (WRI, 2019).
585 million hectares will need to be reforested to limit warming to 1.5 °C (WRI, 2019).
88% is the projected increase in demand for ruminant meat between 2010 and 2050 (WRI, 2019).
