For 20 years, the joint OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2024-2033 has been the key global reference for medium-term prospects for agricultural commodity markets. Over two decades, emerging economies have increasingly driven global agricultural market developments and are projected to continue to do so, but with regional shifts. Urgent challenges, including climate change and food security, remain and require the advancement of sustainable and resilient food systems policies.
Reducing food loss and waste could reduce emissions
This year's OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook presents a new analysis that simulates the impact of cutting food losses along supply chains and reducing food waste at the retail and consumer levels by 2030. The results are promising.
Halving food loss and waste by 2030 has the potential to achieve remarkable global benefits: reducing agricultural GHG emissions by 4% and decreasing the number of undernourished people by 153 million.
Emerging economies will continue to drive agricultural markets
The global landscape of food and agricultural production and consumption is shifting. Emerging economies have increasingly driven global agricultural market developments over the last 20 years and are expected to continue to do so over the next decade through technology and innovation advances, and by increasing the use of their natural resources.
Discover the trends, patterns, and projections that can support policy decisions and impactful actions.
The OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook launch event took place on 2 July at 11:00 CEST, with remarks from OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann and FAO Director-General Qu Dongyu.
