Environment statistics

FAO’s work on environment statistics contributes to FAO’s efforts to collect, analyze, interpret and disseminate data and information on food and agriculture with the goal of making agriculture, forestry and fisheries more productive and sustainable.

Environment statistics at FAO focuses, in particular, on promoting sustainable agriculture and the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems.

To do so, FAO collects, analyzes, interprets and disseminates country, regional and global agri-environmental statistics to support evidence-based decision-making and countries in their efforts to strengthen national environment statistics related to food and agriculture. Advancing relevant analytical knowledge, the data also support countries in their international reporting needs. These include country reporting processes for climate change and for the indicators of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and in particular, for indicator 2.4.1. on the “Proportion of agricultural area under productive and sustainable agriculture”.
