“According to FAOSTAT, the annual rice consumption per capita in India was 105 kg in 2021. This makes them the second largest rice consuming country behind China. Chinese people consumed 129 kg rice per capita that same year.”
“Did you know that if food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, just behind China and the United States! This is because when food rots in landfills, it produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas, contributing significantly to climate change. Reducing food waste can have a big impact on reducing carbon emissions globally.”
“According to the FAO, the total amount of farmers worldwide, counts a staggering 570 million. This is approximately 7% of the total world population. The vast majority of these farmers are smaller than 2 hectares.”
“To be able to provide the world population with the sufficient amount of calories per hectare, the total amount of arable land has to increase from 1240 million hectares in 2011 tot 1290 million hectares in 2050. This, assuming that the world population is 9,5 billion people in 2050. ”
