Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
58.4% less greenhouse gas emissions are generated by a vegetarian diet compared to one based on high meat consumption (>100 g per day).
52.9% less greenhouse gas emissions are generated by a diet based on fish consumption compared to one based on high meat consumption (>100 g per day).
47.9% less emissions are generated by a diet with low meat consumption compared to one based on high consumption (>100 g per day).
15.3 times higher methane emissions (CH₄) from a diet with high meat consumption (>100 g per day) compared to vegan diets.
75% less soil and 53.6% less water is required for a vegan diet compared to one based on high meat consumption (>100 g per day).
65.7% less biodiversity losses are caused by a vegan diet compared to one based on high meat consumption (>100 g per day).
From 12 to 0 meters, the depth of groundwater in South America decreased due to the expansion of rain-fed agriculture.
66% probability that the global temperature will exceed 1.5°C (WMO, 2023).
80% of the world's remaining biodiversity is under the custody of indigenous peoples, who are intrinsically connected to the land and nature (FAO, 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).
