Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
18-fold increase in annual investments, reaching USD 260 billion, will be required to halve food system emissions by 2030 (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
52 gigatons of GHGs must be reduced to zero by 2050 to limit warming to 1.5°C, but without additional measures, an increase of 3.2°C is projected by 2100 (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
400 million Trinidadian dollars have been spent to date from the Green Fund on conservation and reforestation projects that benefit the agricultural sector (Govia & Roopnarine, 2024).
3 key benefits of green infrastructure in Trinidad and Tobago: regulation of water supply and quality, and moderation of extreme events for agriculture (Govia & Roopnarine, 2024).
22-30% is the projected decrease in rainfall for Trinidad and Tobago by 2100, which significantly threatens agricultural production (Govia & Roopnarine, 2024).
10% drier dry seasons have become in Trinidad and Tobago, while sea level has risen by 1.5 to 3 mm per year (Govia & Roopnarine, 2024).
650 billion dollars are spent by governments on the agricultural sector; optimizing just 10% could reduce GHG emissions by 40% (World Bank, 2024).
5-10 billion annually could generate a sustainable agroeconomy, with nutritious food, low emissions and fair payments to farmers (World Bank, 2024).
4% of global climate finance goes to agriculture, despite its vulnerability and contribution to emissions (World Bank, 2024).
25% less emissions from native forest degradation and deforestation is Chile's goal for 2030 (Government of Chile, 2021).
