Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
65% of the country's surface area is on hillsides, that is, with a slope greater than 15%, where most small producers cultivate (Martín Manzano, 2012).
5.3% will be the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the nitrogen fertilizer market during the period of 2022-2029.
About 95% of the food we consume comes from the soil (FAO, 2022).
1 m³ of soil can store up to 600 liters of water (FAO, 2022).
1,792 Tg of carbon is the potential for soil sequestration through pasture recovery in the Americas, with a range of 717 to 2,868 Tg in the top 0.3 m layer (IICA, 2021).
905 million hectares of pastures are the main land use in the Americas, highlighting their importance in soil management and carbon sequestration (IICA, 2021).
888 Tg of carbon is the sequestration potential in the Americas, equivalent to between 529 and 1,247 Tg of carbon at a depth of 0 to 0.60 m for 20 years (IICA, 2021).
13% of agricultural soils are degraded and 20% are recovering as a result of overexploitation and inadequate or absent use of cultivation technologies.
The 70.3% represents the apparent total tract digestibility of organic matter in cowpea hay diets, being 4.7 percentage points higher than pangola diets (Corea et al., 2020).
40% of the world's land area and 70% of water use are used for agriculture (OECD, 2020).
