Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
52% of total greenhouse gas emissions in Brazil between 2000 and 2020 were caused by changes in land use, and agriculture was responsible for 24% (World Bank, 2023).
17.4 million hectares in Brazil apply integrated crop-livestock-forest systems, capturing 21.8 million tons of CO2, exceeding the NDC targets for 2020 by 21% (World Bank, 2023).
1% of the annual gross value of production in Brazil's agricultural sector is lost, on average, due to extreme weather events (World Bank, 2023).
48% is the potential reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Brazil by 2030 if the ABC+ Plan is fully implemented compared to a business-as-usual scenario (World Bank, 2023).
3.8 trillion USD is the agricultural and livestock production lost in the last 30 years due to catastrophes (FAO, 2023).
From 100 to 400 events per year, the frequency of disasters has increased worldwide, from the 1970s to the present (FAO, 2023).
69 million tons per year is the average cereal loss over the last three decades (FAO, 2023).
40 million tons per year is the average loss of fruits and vegetables and sugar crops in the last three decades (FAO, 2023).
16 million tons per year is the average loss of meat, dairy products and eggs over the last three decades (FAO, 2023).
9.3 billion metric tons (MT) of CO2 emissions were generated by global food loss and waste in 2017 (Zhu et al., 2023).
