- "Rice production accounts for about 28% of total world cereal production and provides about 60% of dietary calories to more than 3 billion people. It is the second most cultivated cereal after wheat with East Asia and Southeast Asia accounting for around 60% of the world’s rice production."

Solar Freezer

- "Roughly one-third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted globally."
- "In developing countries more than 40% of the food losses occur at post-harvest and processing levels."
- "For example, fish with a storage life of 15 days at 0°C will keep for 6 days at 5°C and only about 2 days at 15°C before becoming unacceptable."

- "The food sector currently accounts for around 30 percent of the world’s total energy consumption. High-GDP countries use a greater portion of this energy for processing and transport."
- "Globally, the agrifood chain consumes 30 percent of the world’s available energy – with more than 70 percent consumed beyond the farm gate."
- "The food sector accounts for 30% of global energy use and 22% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Improved agricultural water management can contribute to ‘energy and climate’ smart food production."
- "While previous studies have looked at the contribution of agriculture to emissions, Climate Change and Food Systems assesses the entire food system's emissions "footprint" -- in total somewhere between a fifth and third of the greenhouse gases emitted by people on this planet. This figure accounts for every aspect of food production and distribution -- including growing crops and raising livestock, manufacturing fertilizer, and storing, transporting and refrigerating food. Agriculture accounts for around 80 percent of these emissions, but the combined contribution of transport, refrigeration, consumer practices and waste management is growing."
