Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
Legal frameworks for crop gene editing have been developed in Latin America, considering institutional drivers and policy frameworks. Regulatory gaps are identified, and an approach to strengthening biotechnology governance is proposed (Zarate & Ramírez, 2023).
66% probability that the global temperature will exceed 1.5°C (WMO, 2023).
Of the 30% of emissions produced in agri-food systems, 14% are generated within the farm, 10% occur between the pre-production and post-production phases and 6% are due to changes in land use (FAO, 2023).
The third largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the world would be food loss and waste if they were a country (FAO, 2023).
More than a third of countries have included livestock-related mitigation interventions in their climate commitments (FAO, 2023).
0.06% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from Honduras, with 2.9 tons of CO₂ equivalent per capita in 2018, below the world (6.45) and regional (6.22) average (World Bank, 2023) (World Bank, 2023).
56% of Honduras' territory is covered by forests, which are essential for mitigating climate change, strengthening resilience to natural disasters and generating income for rural communities (World Bank, 2023).
40,600 to 56,400 people will be forced to move internally in Honduras due to climate change impacts by 2050 (World Bank, 2023).
4.5% of the population of Honduras is affected on average each year by disasters caused by natural hazards, causing damages exceeding 2.3% of GDP (World Bank, 2023).
2.60 million hectares per year of forest were lost between 2010 and 2020.
