According to the food and agriculture organisation which country produces the largest amount of milk in the world

March 9, 2021 The report was co-authored by Francesco Tubiello, a senior statistician and climate change specialist at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in collaboration with researchers at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Italy. It presents a database, known as EDGAR FOOD, which can be used to assess how changes in consumer behaviour or technology, may impact food system-derived greenhouse gas emissions. EDGAR FOOD incorporates key land-use data for over 245 countries that has been compiled by FAO. The information goes back to 1990 and spans multiple sectors, which will enable tracking of ongoing and future trends. Food systems more energy intensive The report highlights how global food systems are becoming more energy intensive, reflecting trends in retail, packaging, transport and processing, whose emissions are growing rapidly in some developing countries. Roughly two-thirds of food system emissions come from agriculture, land use and changes in land use. The figure is higher for developing countries, but is also declining significantly as deforestation decreases and food processing, refrigeration and other “downstream activities” increase. In terms of the share of all ‘anthropogenic’ emissions, caused by human activity, food systems in industrial nations are broadly stable at around 24 per cent. In developing countries, the share has decreased from 68 per cent in 1990 to 39 per cent in 2015, partly due to very high increases in n...

Global hunger isn’t about a lack of food. Right now, the world produces enough food to nourish every man, woman and child on the planet. But nearly one-third of all food produced each year is squandered or spoiled before it can be consumed. For many Americans, this food waste happens in the kitchen — when we prepare food that is left uneaten or spoils in our fridges and cabinets. For millions of people in low-income countries, this Along with chronic poverty, conflict and natural disasters, Here’s how food waste and global hunger are connected: 1) $1 Trillion Dollars’ Worth of Food Is Wasted Each Year Approximately According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), reversing this trend would preserve enough food to feed 2 billion people . That’s more than twice the number of undernourished people across the globe. 2) Food Waste Is One of the Largest Producers of Carbon Food waste and food loss have a significant impact on To put this into perspective, if wasted food were a country it would be the third largest producer of carbon dioxide in the world after the U.S. and China. Taking small steps to reduce food waste, like eating leftovers and only buying the food that you need, helps fight global hunger and climate change.

In its analysis, the Food and Agriculture Organization ( the food supply chain in many countries is on course to overtake farming and land use as the largest contributor to greenhouse gases (GHGs) from the agri-food system. Moreover, unrelated farm activities and land-use changes currently account for more than half of the carbon dioxide (CO2) produced from agri-food systems in some regions while in developing countries over the past three decades, it has more than doubled. FAOnews Important trend “The most important trend…since 1990, highlighted by our analysis, is the increasingly important role of food-related emissions generated outside of agricultural land, in pre and post-production processes along food supply chains, at all scales”, meaning global, regional and national levels, “This has important repercussions for food-relevant national mitigation strategies, considering that until recently these have focused mainly on reductions of non-CO2 within the farm gate, and on CO2 from land use change”. Spurring ‘meaningful awareness’ Using a broader data set, the new analysis allows farmers and government planners to understand the connections between their proposed actions under the Details, which will be updated annually, on all parts of agri-food systems throughout countries and territories between 1990 and 2019, can be easily accessed through the “FAO is glad to offer this global public good, a data set that directly and in detail, addresses the greatest challenge of ...

The 2008 food price crisis, the result of decades of insufficient investment in agriculture and food security, swelled the ranks of the poor and undernourished to 1 billion people, and, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), an extra 100 million people could go hungry this year as a consequence of the combined negative effects of the food price crisis, the financial and economic crisis, and climate change. Committee Chairperson Park In-kook ( Republic of Korea) said to achieve food security, investment in agricultural research, natural resources, financial services, local infrastructure, market links and safety nets were pivotal. Food prices, already high and volatile, could spike again as droughts,...

10 World’s Biggest Cow’s Milk Producers- There are ten biggest cow’s milk producers in the world based on data released by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). During this time, milk is one of the nutrition of the most valuable food on the planet. It provides nutrients in large amounts because all humans need them. Numerous benefits are provided in supporting human growth, development, and intelligence. Statistically, based on the FAO Statistical Corporate Database (FAOSTAT) in 2023, The World’s production of Cow Milk has increased substatially from time to time. In 1980, the World’s production of Cow’s milk reached 422 million tonnes. Furthermore, in 2021, world’s production of cow’s milk has increased into 746 million tonnes. Overall, in the last 30 years, the increasing production of cow’s milk around 320 million tonnes or more than70 % of increasing percentage.

Zhengfei Guan, Trina Biswas, and Feng Wu Introduction Tomatoes are one of the world's most consumed vegetable crops. According to statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), around 340 billion pounds (170 million tons) of fresh and processed tomatoes were produced globally in 2014 (FAO 2017). The harvested area covered 12.4 million acres (5 million hectares) of farmland. The world production of tomatoes has consistently increased since 2000, growing more than 54% from 2000 to 2014 (FAO 2017). China is the largest producer of tomatoes, followed by the United States and India. Other major players in the tomato market are the European Union and Turkey. Together, these top five tomato producers supply around 70% of the global production. Mexico is the largest exporter of tomatoes in the world, followed by the Netherlands and Spain (CIA 2017). In 2016, Mexico, the Netherlands, and Spain accounted for 25.1% ($2.1 billion), 19% ($1.6 billion), and 12.6% ($1.1 billion) of the world's total tomato exports, respectively (CIA 2017). Figure 8. USDA In the United States, approximately 35 billion pounds (16 million tons) of tomatoes were produced in 2015; about 8% of the total production was fresh tomatoes, which have much higher prices than processed tomatoes. In 2015, the total values of fresh and processed tomatoes produced in the United States were $1.22 billion and $1.39 billion, respectively (USDA-AMS 2017). Florida and California account for about two-thirds of t...

Fishing is one of the most significant drivers of declines in ocean wildlife populations. Catching fish is not inherently bad for the ocean, except for when vessels catch fish faster than stocks can replenish, something called overfishing. The number of overfished stocks globally has tripled in half a century and today fully one-third of the world's assessed fisheries are currently pushed beyond their biological limits, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Overfishing is closely tied to The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the marine environment. Billions of people rely on fish for protein, and fishing is the principal livelihood for millions of people around the world. Many people who make a living catching, selling, and buying fish are working to improve how the world manages and conserves ocean resources. WWF works with a cross-section of stakeholders to reform fisheries management globally, focusing on sustainable practices that not only conserve ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensure food security. More than one-third of all sharks, rays, and chimaeras are now at risk of extinction because of overfishing, according to a new study re-assessing their IUCN Red List of Threatened Species extinction risk status. Governments and regional fisheries bodies must act now to stop overfishing and prevent a global extinction crisis. Some 4 million fishing vessels of all sizes now ply the oceans, many with increasing capacity ...
