GHG reduction

20/09/2024 Go to Evidence

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).

Climate-smart practices

20/09/2024 Go to Evidence

USD 329 billion annually could be generated with climate-smart practices, ensuring food security until 2050 without affecting biodiversity and carbon (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).

Solid carbon

20/09/2024 Go to Evidence

3.8 GtCO2eq per year can be stored in the soil for less than USD 100 per ton, equivalent to more than 1 Gt of solid carbon (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).

Climate finance

USD 100 billion was the record climate finance from multilateral development banks in 2022, but only USD 2.3 billion went to mitigation in the agri-food system (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).

Organic Agro-exports and Food Security

01/09/2024 Go to Evidence

This study examined the relationship between air and sea surface temperatures, Peruvian organic agro-exports (2000–2022), and food security. It found that higher organic agro-exports reduce undernourishment globally and enhance access to healthy diets despite climate change (Coayla & Bedon, 2024).
