2022Also available in:
No results found.Agrifood systems account for one-third of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. They are generated in various ways: within the farm gate, through crop and livestock production; through land-use change; and in pre- and post-production processes, including food manufacturing, retail, household consumption and food disposal. According to the latest data, global agrifood systems emissions reached 16 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Gt CO2eq) in 2020, an increase of 9 percent since 2000. -

Book (series)Technical studyGender and Land Statistics 2015
Also available in:
No results found.Although there is global consensus that women’s land rights are fundamental for the realization of food security and rural development, accurate and reliable statistics to monitor the attainment and realisation of these rights are still lacking. However, landownership and management statistics are becoming increasingly available as multiple international efforts are underway, including the ‘52 Minimum Set of Gender Indicators’ approved by the UN Statistical Commission, methodological work under the UN EDGE (Evidence for Data and Gender Equality) project on collecting sex disaggregated landownership data, and FAO World Programme of Agricultural Census 2000, all which encourage countries to compile and report key sex-disaggregated indicators, including those related to land rights. This document summarizes these current efforts to streamline and compile international statistics on gender and land in a unified framework, providing an entry point for the statistical work in the Gender and Land Rights Database (GLRD) The document also summarizes current available statistics in the database (and at global level) and future FAO's work to increase their availability, particularly to monitor targets of the SDGs.
