Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
Almost 50% of studies on climate resilient crops identify extension services as a factor for successful adoption (Laborde, 2020).
40% will be the deficit between global supply and demand for freshwater by 2030 (WRG, 2009).
1.35% of global emissions were produced by Mexico in 2020, growing by 18% compared to 2000 (IDB, 2023).
0.08% of total greenhouse gas emissions (40 MtCO2eq) corresponded to the Dominican Republic in 2020, doubling with respect to 2000 (IDB, 2023).
44% of global tropical deforestation between 2013 and 2019 occurred in Latin America and the Caribbean, evidencing a large forest loss (FPTF, 2021).
USD 1.3 billion in daily losses are estimated globally from land degradation, severely affecting natural resources (FAO and GTIS, 2015).
5 countries in the Americas are home to the largest number of endangered or threatened species of fauna (FAO, 2022).
7 of 20 countries in the Americas are home to the most globally threatened plant varieties (FAO, 2022).
28% must increase agricultural productivity in LAC in the next decade to balance sustainability, affordable prices and fairness for producers (OECD and FAO, 2022).
More than 338 million tons of CO2 emissions are emitted by agricultural land in LAC, which represents approximately 33% of global agricultural land emissions (FAO, 2020).
