Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
70% of freshwater extracted worldwide is used for agriculture, with an even larger proportion used consumptively due to evapotranspiration from crops.
38-52% would be the national biodiversity loss in Colombia by 2033 if agricultural expansion is not controlled (Guerrero-Pineda, C. et al., 2022)
2.6 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide are absorbed by forests every year, making them critical for climate change mitigation (Larrea et al., 2021).
100% of the analyzed VSS (Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, Organic, RSPO, ISCC, RTRS, ProTerra, FSC, PEFC) include required criteria for greenhouse gas reduction and carbon emissions (Larrea et al., 2021).
57% of all agricultural GHG emissions come from nitrous oxide, where agricultural land management practices drive 94%, equivalent to 316 Tg CO2e of total U.S. N2O emissions (USEPA, 2021).
22 government officials and 19 journalists and media representatives strengthened their capacities between 2016 and 2017 on climate change and Guyana's National Adaptation Plan process.
474 billion will be needed by developing countries for mitigation and adaptation by 2030, according to commitments in 2016 NDCs (Kissinger et al., 2019).
312.1 t/ha was the mean soil carbon stock under agroforestry, the highest among the land uses assessed in Tula-Jana, Doyogena, Ethiopia.
229.4 t/ha was the soil carbon stock in cropland under CSA practices, the second-highest value among the land uses assessed.
229.4 t/ha was the soil carbon stock observed after ten years of CSA practices in cropland, with values higher than business-as-usual management.
