Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
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).
1.3 billion people could see their food security increased through agroforestry alone (FAO, 2023).
25% of the world's biodiversity is found in soil, which is a vital carbon sink and hosts ecosystems essential for the preservation of life (FAO, 2023).
Between 2,000 and 5,000 liters of water per day are needed to produce the food that a person consumes (FAO, 2023).
71.6% of exports, 47.9% of employment and one third of electricity generation in Honduras depend on water resources (World Bank, 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).
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).
In 40 out of 46 countries, men have more ownership rights or secure tenure over agricultural land than women (FAO, 2023).
