As of December 2025, the FAM Catalogue contained 1 542 surveys and 561 388 variables and had recorded 79 000 visitors and 7 889 licensed data requests. Its collections span agricultural surveys and censuses, food security, nutrition, emergency monitoring and other areas, including a dedicated Forest Inventory Data collection. 

The latest study from the Food Systems Countdown Initiative (FSCI) reveals the stark reality of where global food systems transformation stands: For most indicators on health, environment, livelihoods, governance and resilience, a vast majority of countries will not meet the internationally agreed 2030 goals.
