Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
75 carbon pricing instruments are in operation today, with new initiatives in Australia, Hungary, Slovenia, Mexico and Taiwan, China (World Bank, 2024).
7% of global emissions were covered by carbon pricing a decade ago; today it is almost a quarter (World Bank, 2024).
5 to 10 billion dollars per year in net benefits would be generated by transforming the food system, equivalent to 4-8% of global GDP in 2020 (FSEC, 2024).
6% will increase direct GHG emissions from agriculture in the next decade, a growth slower than that of production thanks to productivity improvements (OECD and FAO, 2022).
14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to 7.1 gigatons of CO2 per year, come from livestock chains.
