Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
540 billion dollars are spent annually on producer support, two-thirds of which distort prices and damage the environment (FAO, UNDP and UNEP, 2021).
Up to $100 trillion could be mobilized by the Glasgow Finance Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) by 2050 to finance climate investments (ECLAC, FAO and IICA, 2023).
28% must increase agricultural productivity in LAC in the next decade to balance sustainability, affordable prices and fairness for producers (OECD and FAO, 2022).
9% to 57% between 2000 and 2020 has increased extreme weather events (FAO et al., 2021).
4 of the 10 most climate-affected countries between 1998-2017 are in the region, which accounted for 46% of global losses from climate disasters in the last decade (FAO, 2022).
227 million hectares recognized and titled for indigenous communities have contributed to reducing or preventing carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (FAO, 2022).
2.60 million hectares per year of forest were lost between 2010 and 2020.
More than 338 million tons of CO2 emissions are emitted by agricultural land in LAC, which represents approximately 33% of global agricultural land emissions (FAO, 2020).
Between 25% and 30% of total global GHG emissions are the responsibility of agri-food systems (IPCC, 2019).
