Agricultural Contribution to GDP
Agricultural development is one of the most powerful tools to end extreme poverty, boost prosperity and feed a projected 9.7 billion people by 2050 and beyond. Growth in the agriculture sector is two to four times more effective in raising incomes among the poorest compared to other sectors. Analyses in 2016 found that over 60% of poor working adults made a living through agriculture.
Agriculture is also crucial to economic growth: in 2021, it accounted for 15% of global gross domestic product (GDP) and in some developing countries, it can account for more than 40% of GDP, and agriculture accounts for 70% of water use and generates unsustainable levels of pollution and waste. 1/3 of food produced globally is either lost or wasted. Addressing food loss and waste is critical to improving food and nutrition security, as well as helping to meet climate goals and reduce stress on the environment.
