Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
USD 100 billion was the record climate finance from multilateral development banks in 2022, but only USD 2.3 billion went to mitigation in the agri-food system (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
63% of low- and middle-income countries (119 in total) have limited or moderate capacity to access financing, while only 37% have high capacity (FAO et al., 2024).
23.1% is the prevalence of undernutrition in countries with limited capacity to access financing, compared to 10.4% in countries with moderate capacity and 6.9% in those with high capacity (FAO et al., 2024).
US$8 and US$37 were the average public expenditure on agriculture per rural inhabitant in low-income and lower middle-income countries, respectively, between 2010 and 2019 (FAO et al., 2024).
11.9 billion dollars per year is allocated to climate finance for agriculture globally (Smith and Bass, 2024).
20% of climate development finance in 2021 went to agri-food systems (FAO, 2023).
Half of the revenue from carbon pricing has been earmarked to finance climate and environmental programs (World Bank, 2024).
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).
More than 10% of annual investments worldwide are made by National Development Finance Institutions (World Bank, 2024).
