Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
10% of GHG emissions from food systems in LAC come from energy use outside of primary activities (Crippa et al, 2021).
Nearly 9% of total emissions from LAC food systems come from losses and waste (Crippa et al., 2021).
19% is the calculation for the reduction in global income over the next 26 years due to climate impacts (Kotz, et al., 2024).
22% would be the reduction in per capita income in South Asia and Africa due to climate impacts, being the most affected regions (Kotz, et. al., 2024)
More than 10% of annual investments worldwide are made by National Development Finance Institutions (World Bank, 2024).
60% will be the income loss in 2100 if emissions continue at the current pace and the global average temperature exceeds 4°C (Kotz, et al., 2024).
$6 trillion dollars (2005 prices) is the difference in cost between climate damages and mitigation costs in 2050 (Kotz, et. al., 2024).
11.81 MtCO₂e/year was the annual average of greenhouse gases due to deforestation caused by the expansion of the agricultural frontier in Panama between 2001 and 2022 (GFW, 2024).
1.70 Gt is the total carbon storage in Panama, with most of the carbon stored in soil (GFW, 2024).
1.45 MtCO₂e/year was the annual average of greenhouse gases due to deforestation caused by the expansion of the agricultural frontier in El Salvador between 2001 and 2022 (GFW, 2024).
